Legendborn

Arthurian legends?
Badass female characters?
A seductive and chaotic demon?

COUNT ME IN!

This book is such an eye opener. It deals with racism and speaking as a white girl I can't begin to imagine what's it's like but I felt that there from Bree.

Mental illness and grief is dealt with spectacularly in this book. Bree is forced to come to terms with losing her mother and what she did (by shoving it down and away) in a way that comes across as she's healing and not healed. Some authors like to make their characters be healed instead of continuing to struggle but on their way upward.


I am a sucker for Arthurian legends and Merlin. This took low fantasy to a knew level and I loved every second of it. The magic system was thought out enough that I understood it, the characters were well fleshed and Sel is an interesting and complex character which is why I love him


I did predict the ending to a point but there were two twists that took me by surprise.


Filled with emotion and relationships romantic and platonic, this book is a brilliant ride and one of the few I wanted to read again once I'd finished.

The author didn't pull any punches and Bree's reactions to the stress and grief old and new where genuine. The writing was well thought snd everyone needs to read this book.

I cannot wait to continue with Bree's adventure.
