Oathbound
Oathbound | Tracy Deonn
13 posts | 6 read | 2 reading | 1 to read
The phenomenal third book in the TikTok sensation Legendborn Cycle by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Tracy Deonn. Perfect for fans of Tahereh Mafi, Sabaa Tahir, Cassandra Clare and Leigh Bardugo! Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster. Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who cant understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself and those she loves safe. But Brees decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow Kings hands and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protg. Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Orders Merlins, he invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them . . . or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table. As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her . . . Praise for Legendborn: 'I love the feeling of a magical world existing just beneath the surface of our own and this story gave me everything I wanted: incredible characters, ancient lore and secret societies all grounded in our very real, very flawed world . . ." Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone 'Tracy Deonns Legendborn braids 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

I was SUPER looking forward to this, and thought I was getting a conclusion to a trilogy, so the clearly-not-a-conclusion ending was frustrating. Add to that, this was definitely longer than it should have been and STILL didn‘t feel like it did much (other than a lot of stuff happening in the background but not on the page, and a couple of jaw-dropping revelations at the end). I enjoyed seeing Bree grow into her powers but ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …generally wanted to shake some sense into her as she repeatedly rushed into situations without thinking. All of THAT said, I still enjoyed it. It‘s just not a 5-star read like its two predecessors. I hope we get more of a consequential plot (and a less impulsive Bree) in the next book!

Annnnd, I read this back in March. One more catch-up review and I‘ll just have a handful of May books to review. 😆

willaful Completely get it. I kept shilly-shallying about whether to finish it and finally decided to leave it half done and maybe finish it before reading the next book. Though if the next isn't the last, I may be *out*. 4d
5feet.of.fury I also thought this was a trilogy until the end 😂😩 4d
BarbaraJean @willaful Totally makes sense! There's so much of the plot in this one that is just kind of pointless. I will read the next one, but I really hope she tightens up the writing and moves things along. @5feet.of.fury I hate it when I'm expecting closure and then as there are fewer and fewer pages left it becomes apparent that I'm not going to get it 😫 3d
willaful @5feet.of.fury Ugh, how frustrating for you! I was buddy reading them in a romance discord and we ALL thought that. 😫 Apparently she decided to make it longer somewhere along the way. 3d

Apparently I was really feeling "purple books" this month. Sunrise on the Reaping (which comes out Tuesday!!!) even fits this theme.

My spring break for work is coming up soon so ?? I can knock these out.

Really good but needed more Selwyn IMO. The added POVs were great, Deonn did a really good sort of recap at the beginning for where Bree, Sel, Nick & the order left off. Bree finds she can‘t run from her heritage as more secrets and injustices are revealed. Can‘t wait to see what‘s next

This series just keeps getting better and better…and it‘s not done yet. This fantasy series might be marketed as YA but it‘s a great read for anyone—fantastic world building that draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, flawed interesting characters easy to root for and against, and a plot that has all the twists and turns and SURPRISES you could want. The wait for the next one is going to be difficult…

I just finished and Oathbound is officially the GOAT of fantasy series for me! Like this books makes me want to reduce star counts on other books because they need to bow down to this series. Miss Tracy Deonn gifted us with connective work of masterful story telling. I‘m overwhelmed by the absolute perfection of this 3rd book in series from the multi POVs, character growth and expanded world building. All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Soubhiville Wow, high praise! I need to pick up the first one. 🙂 3mo
