A review by boredvsick
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
Honestly a big no for me.
The plot was cute, I'm super interested about the story of the knights of the roundtable but this book wasn't for me.
It was slow, I couldn't bring myself to like the characters or the story and I was sooo confused.
Not even the infodumps (that I kinda hate) helped me. At all.
Bree seemed to understand everything in like 2 seconds, I wasn't as lucky.
The side characters are flat, there but for what? till now, no reason.
I could name a /lot/ of books and films that had similar plot and it felt wrong. It's almost as if I was reading a mix of shadowhunters, percy Jackson and some Disney channel movie.
Not for me, at all. Especially since it felt like a copy of the copy.
I still not understand how Bree could trust Nick in like 2 hours and how everything seemed to fell right into her lap. How lucky, my girl, especially since you took like, idk, a 10 min research on Google to find what you needed.
The only thing I actually liked it was the critics to the society and the way black people are viewed. Only interesting thing, really, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to have my attention.
