A review by stormywolf
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
5.0
I found this one on Facebook, as well as many lists of upcoming fantasy, debuts, and books by black authors. King Arthurian legends have always been interesting to me (Disney's Sword in the Stone was one of my early favorites), and I was curious to see how it would interact with "Southern Black Girl Magic." Let's just say things got really, really interesting.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys fantasy, strong heroines, coming-of-age/self-discovery, or Black experiences. This story offers a lot to talk about and a lot to love, but I really want to avoid spoiling anything that might lessen its impact so please forgive me if I've been too vague. If you need me to say more, I found this story simultaneously eye-opening, heartbreaking, and inspiring, and I can hardly wait for the sequel.
