![]() ![]() The night her mother died, someone like Sel wiped Bree’s memory. The incident shakes loose an old, buried memory. More damning, she is able resist it when Selwyn, a strange boy with magic powers and inhuman abilities, attempts to wipe her memory of the attack. While attending a party at her new school, Bree witnesses something she shouldn’t have: a demon feeding off human energies. ![]() ![]() On paper, it should have been a home run, but I was never able to emotionally connect and by the end I found I had no interest in continuing with the series. I truly don’t understand why I didn’t like this novel. Once I actually read Legendborn, though, I didn’t mind that I’d forgotten the sequel. I got Legendborn from the library and immediately regretted not grabbing Bloodmarked as well, because I was so certain that I would desperately want to go right from the first to the second. It gets near-universal raves, it’s a YA fantasy novel with an interesting and unique magic system, it focuses on a Black heroine and Black narratives, and it has endorsements from some of fantasy’s best writers. ![]() Based on everything that I’d heard about it, I was certain I would love Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. ![]()
