Rating: 3.7 – a good continuation of the Legendborn series

Opinion: This was a great book. I loved learning more about the lore of both kinds of magic in this book. Parts of the book were a little too political for me. At the same time it was good for me to learn about different points of view and what people of color go through. The ending was a little confusing because of all the changing perspectives and not a lot of clarification. I wasn’t entirely surprised about some of the things that happened at the end. But I am curious to see how the author continues the series. This is a great book for anyone who loves fantasy and magic.
