This is an incredible retelling, recontexualizing of King Arthur legends that made my younger self smile with glee. Combining the legend with the tradegey with resilience and love that in so many ways mirrors the nobility of those legends.
I am not going to tell you anymore because you should simply read it. You won't regret it. 11/10 stars!

I dont even know what to say but this is genuinely the best book ive ever read in my life.
Everything about this book is beyond perfection. From the writing to the storytelling to the ways it conveys emotion through its characters.
I absolutely LOVE Briana!! She is genuinely so relatable and loveable to me. I love the way shes isn't afraid to express her anger and how shes proud to honour her ancestors. The way her grief is displayed throughout
the book I don’t even know how to describe is so touching and powerful i nearly cried multiple times every time her mum is brought up.
Words cant even describe how sorry i feel for her, I mean
I LOVED the author’s note and seeing her inspiration for Legendborn is so beautiful yet so heartbreaking, you can just tell the love and effort that went into this book, Deonn needs to be given her flowers!!
Overall, this book got be giggling, screaming and cursing out loud like no book has ever before. i cant WAIT to read the squeal!!!
