First off, thank you so much to Netgalley for providing me with an eARC for review!!! This is so unbelievably exciting for me & I cannot even believe that I was able to experience this world again after waiting 2 years!!!!! 

Tracy Deonn has done it again folks…… I need book 3 yesterday……. Screaming, crying, throwing up, punching the air… this was amazing. Keep in mind while Legendborn is beautiful & so much fun, it is also a really dark story at times with deep rooted trauma and racism in it’s core & this book goes deeper into some of that dark stuff, so be prepared & take care of yourself going into this one

 
there is one critique I have & it’s the usage of “theydies & gentlethem” in chapter 32, I understand what it’s trying to do but I think it still enforces gender norms in an uncomfortable way & could be easily rephrased!
