Legendborn by Tracy Deonn Book Summary

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!
Winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy reinvents the King Arthur legend and “braids together Southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power, and self-discovery” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles).

After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.

A flying demon feeding on human energies.

A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.

The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.

Best Book EVER. This is honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read and the twist at the end is just brilliant.

Blown Away. This book blew my mind. The masterful writing, intriguing story, it was all just so amazing. If you love fantasy this book is a must have. Even if the story was very insta-lovey, I still adore the lives interests (Sel) and would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

Highly recommend!!!!! Black girl magic💛. Did I spend $12 on the first book… yes. Yes I did. Am I about to spend $12 on the second… yes. Yes I am!

AMAZING. I’m in love I need book two but I’ll wait

Enchanting, haunting, thrilling. I loved this! I loved reading about a strong young black woman discovering her power and how that weaves into the culture she’s chosen to be in. The world is vibrant and rich, her characters deep, fascinating and complex. If you love fantasy with twists and turns you don’t see coming and don’t mind being challenged in how you see our world, this book is for you. I loved how Deonn took a stain on our nation’s history - slavery - and offered a redemptive arc for one young black woman. Hers is a voice we need in our libraries and culture.

I was blown away. This is honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Every character was so well developed. The plot lines were all interesting in their own right, but when they intersected it was just amazing. This book was so extremely nuanced. The author did a wonderful job connecting the realism of race and racism with the fantastical elements of the story. It made the book all the more enjoyable because it was REAL. My favorite part, though, was the unpredictability. There were so many moments where I had absolutely no idea what the outcome of a plot line could be. I was on the edge of my figurative seat the entire time. Bree was written perfectly. She was the perfect main character. She was brave and courageous without being self sacrificing, and she was vulnerable and emotional without being annoying. As a young black girl, a female lead like Bree was something I always looked for in the books I read, but never quite found. Nick, ugh, I loved him right from the start. He was so charming and charismatic, I fell in love with him right along with Bree. Sel was the most perfect anti-hero/frenemies I could’ve asked for. He was someone I wanted to strangle, but also deeply admired as a character. The author did an amazing job of transitioning Sel from the character readers couldn’t stand, to someone we were rooting for by the end. The author’s writing sucked me into this world, The whole time I was reading, I felt like I was a part of their trials and tribulations. Bree was perfectly relatable, and I felt what she was feeling the whole time. This was spectacular; 10/10! Can’t wait for the sequel.

Unexpectedly Cathartic. This wonderful book was…life affirming. I’m an avid reader, especially of SciFi or Fantasy novels. I usually have to imagine diversity in characters as I read, though most times the literature gives little details that will “correct” my creative license, ruining my experience. But this book…. I saw my everyday self in Briana. I saw my husband in Nick and Sel. The trials and tribulations, the bigotry and bias, the tender and sweet… I felt all of it! Truly a great read especially for young dark skinned women.

LITERALLY AMAZING 10/10. words cannot describe how amazing this book is. its beautifully written, extremely accurate when it comes to the Black Girl experience, and the characters all have distinct personalities and are incredibly enjoyable to read. I especially loved Bree, Sel, and Nick! bree is an amazingly written character and as a black girl i really saw myself in her. its very rare to see black women in books especially as the main character so when i heard about legendborn i instantly knew i had to give it a read! when i first started reading i reallyyyy hated Sel, but as i started to read more his character really started growing on me 😭 i was shocked that by the time i finsihed reading i ended up really liking him!! i loved nick the minute he was introduced and loved him even more by the end, i cannot wait to see where this story goes and im 100% buying the next book whenever it release’s! 💕💕

Breathtaking !!!. Wonderfully written and deeply emotional; I couldn’t put it down until I reached the last page. You need to read this. And then read it again!

Legendborn. Great character build, pulls you in, makes you want more and then crashes your senses knowing we’ll have to wait for the next in series. Don’t make us wait long....please!

Book 2 please. Amazing couldn’t put it down.

This was great. This was awesome! What a different and fresh take on the King Arthur legend! Loved the characters and the chemistry! Can’t wait to see where this story goes!

I love this book!. This book is such an emotional rollercoaster and I couldn’t put it down! Definitely read the next one tonight.

I feel so seen. Cried through the whole book in a healing way.

Wow. This book is amazing, not only does it give all brown girls that feeling of involvement in magic and sci-fi, but it also ties in the realness of bigotry and racism that poc face every single day. Such a beautiful book

This book fed my soul. This fits the YA genre to a T but keeps it fresh by giving the story to people who don’t get to be the “chosen one” very often. I’ve been looking for a book like this for ages and Tracy delivered

Best Book I’ve Ever Read!!. It is really hard for me to place a book in my new favorites, but this book topped every expectation I had for it. As a black women this book made me feel seen in a way that I have never felt in other books!!! The world building is confusing at first but once explained is magical and enticing. The characters are fleshed out and truly feel like real people. I can’t say better things about this book, and I urge everyone to read it!!

An amazing book!. Awesome book, that blends legends, history and the pain of slavery in a beautifully proud way. I simply love this book!

This is a fantasy lovers MUST READ. This has everything I could ever want in a YA fantasy novel. I just wish there was more because I don’t want to stop reading now that I’ve finished!

In love 🥰. I loved it. The Amazing twist at the end is incredible can’t wait for BloodMarked🤗😁

Legendborn. The book was amazing, it just took me a while to get into!

The ending ruined it for me. The beginning was great i really fell in love with it but once you get to the halfway point i started to dislike the book even more when i came to the ending as it did not leave my excited to read the next book but happy i was finished with this one

didn’t like it.. wasn’t as interesting as the people who recommended it made it seem.
