Legends Untold by Sophie Davis

nannyf's review against another edition

5.0

After reading book two I couldn’t wait for this one to come out. Stassi and her fellow runners are thrown back into the thick of things and are sent back to a volatile point in history. The plan, as usual, is to retrieve something that someone wants. But this run is not going to be easy. There are those who wish to see their plan fail, and they will stop at nothing to get their own way.

While dealing with the hazards their mission throws at them, Stassi and her friends also discover further signs of the mysterious five leafed clover which is somehow tied to Stassi’s past.

The way the book ends left me desperate for more. I will be waiting, not so patiently, for the next instalment.

With this book, we get back into the time travel aspect of the story. The newly formed quad now has it’s first full blown mission, back to mid sixteenth century England, and Lady Jane Grey’s early days of her short reign as Queen of England. But emotions run high with this mission, and an unexpected snag puts the team in danger they never could’ve predicted. It’s fun to experience this team working and interacting together - Stassi and Gaige with their solid teamwork that they had established as a pair before the quad, Molly and Stassi as best friends, not to mention that Molly is excellent at her job, and Charles and Stassi as they navigate their relationship and feelings, and the secret that still floats between them, causing it’s own little rift, all while he is learning how to be a runner, and out of his own time. We get a little bit of everything with this story - the court intrigue and politics of 1500s England, the inner workings and politics of the Syndicate and the alchemists that are helping them in that time, as well as uncovering some surprising and unexpected connections to Stassi’s mysterious locket. Things continue to build, and this book in particular ends in a quite fascinating cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next book and seeing how things are going to unfold for the team!

I loved it and I'm a bit glad it wasn't that long. It was interesting to read and fun but i couldn't read much so I'm happy it wasn't too long.
But I also wish it was because it didn't explain anything about the clover or the necklace or the watch or Stassi's and Charles' relationships about those things and each other. Like are they related somehow or why they have those pieces.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
I hope I'll, we'll, get an answer very soon. Cause I'm really excited to know what's gonna happen.
We didn't really hear or see much of Cyrus which is a bit sad cause I like him. Hope we'll see more of him too.
Also the ending... what a cliffhanger! I want answers to my questions now. What's the deal with the clover and the necklace and the watch? What's the deal with the psycho that sends Stassi letters and scares her?
This series is amazing really. Sophie Davis is a good writer and I like her(their) books.
