Legendborn (The Legendborn Cycle, #1)

by Tracy Deonn

[Ailyn Henbane]

I went in with high hopes and I wasn't disappointed. This is the sort of novel I live and breathe for. The intersectionality of myth and staring the repercussions of the past in the face are things that I love beyond reason. It helps I see a lot of my younger self in Bree the before and after especially.

This is over all enchanting and slowly lifts the feeling of grief and being displaced into something like cautious purpose. I can happily say that not once did the prose serve to kick me out of the story, there was no sudden change or jolting wording that made me question what I'd read, taking me out of the world. I was immersed from the first page, and read it in a single day.
