Summary
Filled with mystery and Southern Black Girl Magic, Tracy Deonn’s New York Times bestselling Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend. This is an explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!
Some legacies are meant to be broken.
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants to escape. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers seems like the perfect opportunity – until she witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus....
A flying demon feeding on human energies.
A secret society of so-called 'Legendborn' that hunt the creatures down.
A mysterious mage who calls himself a 'Merlin' and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.
The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory about her mother. Now Bree will do whatever it takes to discover the truth, even infiltrate the Legendborn. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and foretell a magical war, Bree must decide how far she’ll go for the truth. Should she use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight?
Winner of the Coretta Scott King – John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award.

Best and better
Absolutely loved this intersectional tale, like many other with twists and turns that keep it from being too predictable. Fun stuff!

The Legend continues...
I enjoyed this book a lot, at times a little sappy and the inner monologues got a little repetitive. but overall a great story, fresh take on the legend of Arthur.
I'm looking forward to the next book.

Good plot twist.
Engaging throughout. Looking forward to part 2 and where the story leads. This felt like just a taster.

Amazing!
Captivating!
The way that the words were spoken and written, pulled me in to the story, made it hard for me to finish the book! The narrator was incredible and helped to mould this book into life! Wow. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that loves a bit of YA fantasy. Amazing

Fantastic take on urban fantasy
I wasn't expecting much beyond another YA urban fantasy novel, but with a little more diversity and I've never been so pleased to be so wrong. The book doesn't shy away from difficult topics and tells a great story for the modern, feminist, anti-racist world.

Great listen with a fantastic narrator
This was a great listen, don’t be put off since it’s YA I’m in my thirties and I loved it. The narrator did such a fantastic job which made it so much more enjoyable, pushes my review to a 5 star. Only annoying thing is having to wait for the sequel.
