3.5/5

The sequel to Legendborn: Arthurian legend in modern day America mixed with traditional root magic. We follow Brianna as she struggles following the Scion of Arthur's awakening and learns more about her place and her powers.

- Honestly, I found a lot of this book confusing and didn't really get invested until about the 60% mark. There's lots of threads, lots of action and lots of reveals but sometimes they just didn't meld well in the prose.

- We learn more about the magic system within this series and how it works, not just within the order or for rootcrafters. It helped make sense of some of the things that occur.

- I really liked the scenes featuring Volition. I won't spoil it but the idea of Volition is fantastic and I love the author's note explaining that choice further.

If you liked Legendborn then Bloodmarked is worth a read, just a little hard to wade through at times.
