A review by thekhw
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

5.0

I recommended the “Children of Blood and Bone” series to a friend and they recommended the Legendborn series to me. Great exchange of book recommendations.

Legendborn follows 16 year old Bree to UNC-Chapel Hill for a residential program for promising high schoolers. On her first night, Bree witnesses a magical attack and it all just starts to spin and spiral from there…but in a sort of good way.

This book started off a little slow for me. I was probably coming down from the high of reading another great book or was pushing myself through a reading slump or….the book just had a slow start. I’m not 100% sure which. However, at some point the book picks up and I was….obsessed. The action, the story, and the mystery made this one page turner (at some point). The love triangle that unfolded also added an extra layer of entertainment for me. Who doesn’t love the bad boy?*

I’m usually good at predicting the big plot twist at the end of a book but….I definitely did not predict the plot twist this book ended with. It was a welcome plot twist but I’m sure my jaw literally dropped. Great read.

*Bad boys are better left to fictional stories.
