All the ‘excuses’ people have once it turns out their savior is Black or that they are the ones in power. In this sequel, Bree comes up against the intersection of power and racism. But in Blodmarked, Deonn only continues this theme. And all the ways the playing field isn’t level before the game even begins.
One of the things I loved the most about Legendborn is how Deonn examines this idea of a chosen one. I honestly don’t even know how to comprehend Bloodmarked enough to write this rave review. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. 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. 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. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped.īree wants to fight, but the Regents who rule the Order won’t let her. Now, Bree has become someone new:īut the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak.
So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights-only to discover her own ancestral power. The shadows have risen, and the line is law.Īll Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. If you enjoyed the first, you have to have this one pre-ordered- I know I do! I already may have two different editions coming. I loved Legendborn, but Bloodmarked is a fantastic sequel that defies all my expectations.
