5 stars

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn was an exceptional story. It is a modern day re-imagining of Arthurian lore combined with "African American history & spiritual traditions" as she writes in her author notes. It is an emotional journey that chronicles the depths of grief and trauma not only at the individual level, but throughout generations. This was an excellent story with relatable characters, wonderful world building and a few twists and turns. I can't wait to get Bloodmarked, book 2 in the Legendborn Cycle.
