Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
This book blew my mind. I loved it so much!
Gr 8 Up—Bree is driven to find the truth about her mother's death and its connection to a college secret society
rooted in the centuries-old legends of King Arthur, and she will need to call on her own magic to find answers. The
detailed world-building, fast-paced plot, and richly drawn diverse characters successfully bring to life a world where
medieval magic meets African American root work.

I enjoyed this book, but I did not love it as much as the first book. It felt like there was too much going on and too many new characters, and nothing got fully fleshed out. However, I continued to enjoy the magic system, and the romance is great. Bree is a fantastic protagonist as well. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun urban fantasy series.
Been a while since I’ve been this stoked over a cliffhanger! I can't believe how cool that final plot twist was? I really got those "hoOOOHHH SHIIIITTTT" goosebumps.
This story is a moving, mega-creative modernization of Arthurian Legend, with heaps of history, queer rep, weighty genealogical webs, and best friends who’ve memorized your comfort food when you wake up with a magic hangover.
2/8/2022 update: This book is even better on the second readthrough. Such a powerful reinvention, I'm so glad the sequel comes out this year!… (more)
