This is an amazingly written sequel to Legendborn! I love this series so much and I can't wait for the third book. The emotional rollercoaster that my heart and brain went on when I read this is so amazinggg! I love that this book is similar to others I love (for example Hunger Games and Divergent)

!!SPOILERS!!!

The book is similar to other but stays unique to the Arthurian legend it is showing. I say similar to Hunger Games because of the hunt that the Mage Guard goes on for Nick and how they plan to kill him instead of rescue him from his father and his Kingsmage. I also see similarities between Divergent and this series because they hold Bree captive and plan to test on her just as they did to Tris in (I believe) the second book in the Divergent series. I love both series as well as Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Lore (standalone Novel), The Darkest Mind series and THIS book is up there with these greats in my opinion.

THE TENSION BETWEEN SEL AND BREE IS AHHHHHHH!!! I know that her heart is conflicted because of Nick and Sel BUT I am a sucker for tall, dark, and handsome ESPECIALLY if he has a-hole qualities (toxic I know hehe) AND THE KISS THEY SHARE IS UGHHHHH. But this raises a few questions for me, does Sel feel this way about her because Nick feels it? Probably not, but I still think this is a valid question. ALSO, can Nick feel that Sel feels this strongly for Bree??? He never brought it up so I don't think so but (again) it was worth asking.

ALSO WILLIAM AND LARK IS SO ADORABLEEEE. PLEASE don't let any harm befall William I AM BEGGING, he's like Bree's big brother and he has so much pain that he still hasn't dealt with like The Agony :( Alice also better wake upppppp form her coma because COME ON, Bree would feel so bad if she doesn't wake up and it would feel so incomplete without her :((
This book was so good I devoured the whole book in 2 days and my mom said it wasn't possible HAHAHA
edit: I FORGOT TO ADD that I HATE Tor, she may think that she has her reasons all figured out, but they're the wrong reasons. I am so glad that Sarah finally brought the Morgaines in to intervene and that it hurt Tor. ( I swear I am not always this cruel😭) I think Tor is just an ass-kisser honestly, like SPYING for the Reagents is craaazy. Glad everyone finally saw her for who she was. She honestly doesn't deserve Sarah's kindness OR forgiveness but of course they're bonded so that makes the whole situation THAT much more awkward .

LETS ALSO talk about Valec for a minute cause.......AHHHHHH! He honestly gives Sel Vibes as well. I think that when he revealed that Sel was mesmering Bree from his descent to demonia he was honestly doing Bree a huge favor even if it did hurt Sel. Valec is just so helpful and I LOVE HIM TOOOO. So far my favorites are Sel, Bree, Valec, Alice, William, Lark, Mariah, Aunt Lu, and Miss Hazel 😆 And I just know that maybe later on there'll be some others that I'll love too. I love the Fanart on Pinterest for Legendborn and Bloodmarked.
