Legendborn is a triumph through and through. Deonn masterfully crafts a story that is equal parts real and fantasy and doesn’t pull punches when it comes to the truths and histories buried beneath American institutions.
Bree’s journey through her grief is real, full of moments when her emotions leap from the page and firmly plant themselves into your heart. Not to mention the last 150 pages are addictively paced and the final revelation left me sobbing through the story’s climax the way a truly well paced narrative will.
