About this listen

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 can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself – and those she loves – safe.

But Bree’s 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 King’s hands – and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé.

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 Order’s 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 . . .

we are so back

I was a bit scared to begin with, a later installment in a series which takes focus from the established MC can be a bad sign. Don't worry though, she's still The King, and this is Her Camelot.

Larkins Accent 🤦🏼‍♀️

The continuation of this story line is fantastic! All of the different American accents are very well done, however, as a Scottish person, hearing how Larkin, who’s meant to be Scottish talk, is genuinely the most annoying thing ever. I ended up having to skip the parts where he’s talking because it was so bad 😅. I would strongly suggest getting someone who is actually Scottish or can do a genuine Scottish accent to do this in future.

The terrible Scottish accents ruined portions of the book

Good story, lots of twists and turns in the plot lines. However, both narrators absolutely butchered the Scottish accent of Larkin. Every single time Larkin spoke I was dragged abruptly from the story...totally ruined his sections. Couldn't even think about his storyline as the appalling Scottish accent was an all consuming distraction. Please, use a different narrator for him in the future. Those narrators efforts Scottish accents were horrendous, it's disgraceful. Reminds me of the USA actors doing Irish accents in the old films like Darby O Gill and the Little People or The Quiet Man...it's offensive to people to butcher their accents so badly.

Good story, awful narration

Nothing takes me out of a good story quicker than poor narration. The Scottish accent was dreadful by all the narrators. the main narrator changes how she says a characters name in the last chapter??
The story was a good continuation of the story but I felt some plot lines were forgotten through the narrative - William seemed to be gearing up to be a main POV in the 1st part of the book then it just fizzled away. overall not the strongest of the books but the plot has continued to be interesting and I'm looking forward to the conclusion
