Read this book. Read it. Seriously.

This is the second book in the Legendborn cycle, which follows Bree Matthews as she learns of the Round Table - a group of descendants of King Arthur and his knights, who fight Shadowborn - demons fighting to subjugate humanity. Bree learns she's a member of the Table as a Black girl and a descendant of a slave. Chaos ensues as the historically white organization grapples (poorly) with having a Black girl join their club.

This is a series about grief, trauma, white supremacy, legacy, and a small love triangle. It's poignant and beautiful and reflective. It's a fun fantasy romp that reads easily but tackles tough issues with finesse, and you should give it a read. Everyone should
