Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

5.0

Legendborn was the best book I have read in a very long time, and might just be my new favorite book ever! It had everything I could want in a book. Absolutely EVERYTHING! Go read it right now!! Tracy Deonn pulled me into the story right off the bat with the very vivid way she described the characters and set the scenes. When I got to the end (and man oh man those last 100 pages...wow!) I wanted to start the whole book over again and I am not usually the kind of person who rereads books, but I know I will definitely be rereading Legendborn, especially before the sequel comes out. I loved the characters so much and I loved learning about their stories, history, and struggles. There is very real and raw trauma dealt with in this story and it is done so well. I went through so many emotions reading this book, but it was all so worth it. I also loved the little sprinkle of some pop culture nerdy references thrown in occasionally throughout the book. They made me smile! The world building for this story was amazing and so well thought out. I felt like I was right there in the middle of the action in this magical world. Bree, Nick, and Selwyn, I will love them forever and I am very much looking forward to reading more of their story!
