The start of Book 3 has moved us nearly 18mths into the future, and sees Winnie having set up her own enterprise, in conjunction with Cleaver Yorke. As we start this book, she is moving into Philadelphia and taking control of things there, and is now running magic items for the entire East Coast. However, things have gotten worse, with the dust storms having built in intensity, and Nils Kane and the Red Legs pushing ever harder in coming down on all Chanters as not only being the cause of all of the problems the US faces, but basically just being the root of all evil.
Winnie’s operation has grown, she has Cait and Cricket as her loyal Captains, helping her with everything. Tris helps as much as she can, although she is incredibly busy trying to keep the cities infrastructure from coming apart as the strain on the magical system that underpins the city is at breaking point and taking every resource they can manage.
Victor and Morgan, still together, and still part of the Red Legs, Victor a Chief Inspector now, have also turned and joined Winne after seeing just how far Kane was willing to go, killing all of the Chanters for his own personal gain. Whilst Victor is against the Sable trade, he is still an honourable man, and against murder and genocide, and couldn’t stand by and watch Kane’s actions. One of the really fascinating aspects of this story, linking to the Arthurian Legends, is how Victor has come across the Lady of the Lake now, and been chosen as a ‘Quest Knight’ of the old legends, given a formal quest by the Lady to protect Winnie, and what’s more, he has accepted, technically making him a Knight Protector – and a Questing Knight by the old Legends. Victor was also struck by some magical energy when the first harvester exploded and he can now perform a unique type of magic that allows him to undo spells. Victor has become a very intriguing, and rather powerful character in this story. Victor has also discovered a wonderful garden growing where the harvester once stood, a beautiful garden with a large pond, and Fairies (Seelie is wonderful!!)
Kane continues to plan and scheme in not only hunting down Winnie, but also begins a new plan to round up and capture all of the Chanters and lock them in a special camp. Worse still is that he has begun work on a new ‘Project X’ or a new harvester, one that is more powerful, and deadly than the last.
Queen of Avalon is captivating and action packed with this multi-faceted storyline, with Winnie and her magic/Sable trade, Tris and the cities struggling infrastructure, Kane and his continuing attempts to not only round up all the Chanters, but to eliminate them, and now with a new Project X. As well as the amazing storylines, the character work is just brilliant, as Davis continues to develop not only the individual characters, but their relationships, Winnie and her Mum, Elaine, Winnie and Danny, Victor and Morgan, then there are all the characters, Winnie, Cait, Tris, Danny, Cricket, Victor, Morgan, Artos, all the Bosses and there underlings, there are some new characters in this book to, but no spoilers. Davis continues to create these in-depth characters that are just so real and believable, that you can really relate to. His character work is so gritty and powerful it adds this wonderful dimension to the story that really grabs you.
Just as enthralling is the world-building, for anyone who is a fan of the King Arthur legends, there are some fascinating linkages (and easter eggs), running right through this book, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the story. Overall though, the world building is just brilliant, from the magic, to the multiple locations, and the epic descriptions of the combat.
This is a fantastic third book in the series, with some pivotal story arcs, and character development and is an absolute must read – the best part of the series yet!!

We are at the third book in the series, and I’ve reached the point in a series where it’s hard to do a review without spoilers. Winnie has taken over the Sable trade and has many people working for her. However, her enemy won’t stop trying to pull the magic from handlers, no matter what he has to do. When he takes Winnie’s mother, she will stop at nothing to save everyone. At this point, I will say that this is the best book so far. Mr. Davis is an excellent writer, and his characters are very fleshed out. The plot has moved forward in a believable way, and I really had a hard time putting the book down. The only thing that was tiny annoyance was Winnie; she could sometimes be a little whiny and immature. I try to remember she is only 19 or 20, but since she runs a large enterprise expertly, I have a hard time remembering she’s so young. Don’t let this stop you, though. It’s a great book and I can’t wait for the next one! Highly recommend! Thanks to the author for the e-book which I reviewed voluntarily.

I struggled to get into this book and by the end just wanted to finish it so I could be done with it. I disliked the huge gap in time between books, the way it was presented just rubbed me the wrong way. And then I was annoyed with everyone's behaviors through most of the book and things felt rushed and anti-climatic. The ending was a little abrupt and I'm not sure if I will jump into the next installment or not when it is published.

I received the book as an ARC for an honest review.
I loved the book from the beginning till the end. It is very exciting, the tension is high, the characters are getting closer, there are surprises throughout the story. In the end it was the same then with the previous part: I cannot wait to read further.

Ok, I have to be careful here since, as with many books that have layers of fun, it would be very easy to spoil things. I'm not going to even try to summarize this book as the kindle blurb gives the key details. Having said that, so long as you start with the first novel of the series (a necessity but an enjoyable one) and work up to this one, I can pretty much guarantee you will enjoy this well-written and well-plotted addition to the series, which is probably the best one yet. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.
