I think my Legendborn Book Review is the perfect review to end 2020 with.Ĭontent Warnings: Parental Death, mentions of slavery, microaggressions. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the ancestors who wielded them first-without losing herself in the process.Hi, there friends! I am officially writing my last review for 2020! The rest of the posts scheduled for this month are not review posts, so I’ll be back in 2021 with more reviews. But enemies are everywhere, Bree’s powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can’t escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect Nick until death. When the Regents reveal they will do whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on the run to rescue Nick themselves. To them, she is an unknown girl with unheard-of power, and as the living anchor for the spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, she must be protected. Bree wants to fight, but the Regents who rule the Order won’t let her. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. Now, Bree has become someone new: A Medium. So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights-only to discover her own ancestral power.

All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death.
