Regarding the slavery and rape content warnings, if you read the first book then you should know that

Spoiler

it is regarding situations in the past with the characters’ ancestors. However, unlike the first book where you experience the memory walk and witness some of their traumatic memories, Bloodmarked may refer to that knowledge gained in passing, but it doesn’t show anything as prominent.

Wheewwww. I finished the second book in the series and I felt like this book dragged more than it should’ve, while also having an explosion of new characters that at times it was very confusing to keep up. The main character was so much more stubborn this book that i began to not like her. I wish she focused more on her powers connected to her ancestry and when we finally got those scenes, I didn’t want them to end! I’m hoping there’s more of that focus on the last book. Also, there were a LOT more unnecessary teen angst love stuff this book. Not a fan whatsoever.

Another amazing entry in the series, I love how the world has opened up to the diverse forms of magic and comparing how they all view power and heritage. Sel has become a much more well-rounded character with a storyline beyond "brooding bodyguard who hates the protagonist" and Bree and her friends have really developed too. Bree does make some absolutely infuriating decisions throughout the book which made me want to reach through the page and shake sense into her, but that's the beauty of having a teenage protagonist trying to navigate their way through this new world - she will make mistakes and not know what to do, while we get to see her grow on that journey. I do wish the book hadn't ended on yet ANOTHER one of her dubious choices, especially because her status within the Legendborn society was already so in doubt before the final scene, but I'm very much excited for the following entry!
