A review by codymorris
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
4.0
4.5 stars
Loved the concept
Loved the world building (although took a few 100 pages to understand)
Loved the characters (although way too many for such a short book and some fell 1 dimensional)
Loved the plot twist (didn't see it coming)
Loved the issues tackled throughout the book, loved that racism was clearly a big theme in the book and it was apparent ALL THROUGH the book instead of a one off random comment, it meant something to the story and played a huge part in the narrative (I loved how race was apparent straight away with our main character, it was insightful to see a fantasy world in the eyes of a POC character and truly get a feel for how that would be)
Parts of the book were confusing and it took me a lot longer than anticipated to get into the book, the writing style wasn't my favorite. Felt a bit clunky at times, hence the 4.5 stars.
