🫠🫠 I thought Legendborn burnt me out,,, at least I had the second book waiting for me. Now I have to wait for the third for some indeterminate amount of time.

The amount of pain and trauma every single character has gone through in this book is absurd. Just bc the first one had more deaths doesn't make this one any better. 

Because this is the second book all the characters are coming into their own more and becoming more loveable.

I'm still not onboard the Sel and Bree train, I wish they would be platonic like Will and Bree, but they are well written I'll give them that.

I'm looking forward to the next book, I need to know how this turns out.

This book was insaneee - I read it over a longer period than I probably would have otherwise since I read it mostly at work but I absolutely loved it and I cannot wait for the third and final one!! 
Truly one of the best series I’ve ever read and worth every bit of hype it’s gotten and more imo :) 
Is definitely a darker and more violent book/series at times tho so recommend checking trigger warnings

4.5

i loved how we got more intimate and in-depth with bree herself and our main relationships (especially  between our core four of the book bree/sel/alice/william), we spent a lot of time discovering things with them and i thoroughly enjoyed how things got to take their time; they were struggling hard in this book and seeing them move forwards and backwards in their journey made them all feel more real and their relationships feel natural. bree and sel’s relationship in this i— /passes out/ like GOD there was so much angst and yearning and subtle devotion and fighting and slowburn i ate it all up it was incredible im so AAAAAAAAAA and it was so interesting to see bree’s values and point of view change as she’s pushed to her literal limits trying to keep herself and everyone she loves alive.

the ending im so sad about like we are at the “main characters lowest point” part of the hero’s journey and im so broken about sel and alice and about how bree has given in to death via demon when nick and sel JUST brought her back from possible death, this cliffhanger is going to haunt me but i will sit here crying into my hands patiently waiting for the next installment
