Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
3.0
adventurous dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

*Update: I lowered my rating. The more I sit with it and think about it the more I dislike it

I didn't really care for the legend aspect. I definitely see why some people love this and why others are annoyed with the constant undertone of racism. I don't think a romance was necessary at all but I especially  do not understand the appeal of Sel and why he's a potential love interest with the way he treated her. 
I did like the magic system so to speak though and the history behind that part.
