In a just world, everyone would fall in line to prepare for Camlann, the war with the Shadowborn, and also find Nick, the one everyone thought was the Scion of Arthur and Bree’s boo. Now, our “brave Bree” has a new fight, as the Scion of Arthur, she is now King and head of the Legendborn and the Table. THERE WILL BE MILD SPOILERS FROM THAT BOOK. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ LEGENDBORN PLEASE STOP READING. Legendborn explored and expanded what it means to be a Black girl with real power fighting those who would take it away. Legendborn was one of the first books I’ve read as an adult that merged my love of the legend of King Arthur with a young Black girl who has skin like mine. As someone who grew up in the 80’s, most books and tv shows were white. But, as time passed during the hellscape we called the pandemic, I began to understand my feelings. When I read the first book in the series, it moved me in a way that was hard to describe at first. Bloodmarked, the second book in the Legendborn series, is simply amazing. ![]()
