Bloodmarked (Volume 2) (The Legendborn Cycle, Band 2)

Legendborn war super, das hier leider nicht. Der Anfang war recht zäh, zwischendurch war es aber auch recht spannend und ich finde die zugrunde liegende Ideen immer noch gut.. aber es gab für meinen Geschmack zu viele blöde Entscheidungen und auch zu viel Hin und Her.

Ich brauche ganz dringend Band 3

That ending! No!!

ich glaub ich bin einfach zu dumm um dieses magic system zu verstehen

While I loved the first one, this sequel had me wondering at times. I sometimes feel like second instalments come with problems: pacing, new characters, old character’s development. And this happened in Bloodmarked as well; we get to meet new characters and like them - only for them to disappear into nowhere for the second part of the book and to have more new characters plop up which does none of them justice. Then there is the love triangle and I have to remind myself that they are 16 and somewhat in their early twenties respectively so making mistakes, being stupid, learning about love / expressing it, learning about oneself and growing as a person is a big part of becoming mature. Maybe I am growing too old for YA (you’re as old as you feel? Damn.) That being said, I enjoyed Bree finding out more about her powers, specifically about her non-traditional Western root. We get a view in to century-old powers and different types of power. It was an interesting take how it likely would play out maintaining the power throughout such a long period. Some takes on the traditional Arthurian legend may be different than expected and I am still intrigued to find out how the stories unfold. Overall I thought this second instalment to be not as strong as the first but I will continue and read the next one.

I can’t say anything about that without getting angry. How the hell was the first book so phenomenal und then THIS

Für mich ist diese Reihe die erste, welche die Artussage thematisiert. Das 1. Buch habe ich bereits letztes Jahr gelesen gehabt und ich fand das Thema und die Umsetzung extrem spannend!

Tracy Deonn needs to pay my therapy bills. The worldbuilding? First class. The characters? Amazing. Their dynamics? Breathtaking. My heartbreak? Immense. Also if this series doesn't end in a poly relationship, I am going to be SO MAD

I just feel so connected to bree like tracy really encaptured our essence into this one character Also wtf is this cliffhanger? I have to wait until 2025???????????

Der Einstieg in das Buch fiel mir unfassbar schwer, aber nachdem man einmal drinnen war, glänzte der 2. Band mit Spannung, Witz und tollen Charakteren ♡ Stellenweise hatte er leider ein paar Längen für mich, gefiel mir im Großen und Ganzen jedoch wirklich gut
