TW/CW: Talk of sexual assault, fantasy violence, murder, injury, possession, racism, scary sequences, drug use
REVIEW: This book picks up on Bree’s story from the end of Legendborn. There’s a lot I can’t say about the actual story of this book as it would necessitate massive spoilers of Legendborn and I don’t want to do that.
But I can say that this is an excellent, excellent book – I think even better than the first. It is fascinating to watch Bree’s growth over the time of this book, and to truly feel pain with her as we read.
This is not just a fantasy book, but as with the best fiction books, a look into something far more real than fiction. It’s sad, heartbreaking, and not always easy to read. But Bree’s strength moves it forward for both the character and the reader. Don’t read this book if you want something that’s comfortable and safe because this book is not that in any way.
The characters are real and you feel for them as the book progresses, reading of their strengths and their trials.
I can’t wait for the third book in the series!
