Goodreads Reviews
Legendborn meets Percy Jackson in this dark and thrilling debut fantasy romance.
When consumed by shadow, even the faintest light can be blinding...
After a childhood haunted by disturbing hallucinations of the Shadow Man, Alexis Michaels’s only comfort is the blue amulet he’s had since before he can remember. Now, the visions have gone, and Alexis craves a normal life.
But when a trip to Stonehenge unites him with three other teens carrying similar gems, normality is abandoned when they are plunged into a hidden world of power-wielding Elementals, and told they are the chosen ones, destined to save the world from an eternal night. Trained by legends and guided by heroes, Alexis and his companions must venture on a perilous quest, facing tests of love, loss, and loyalty.
But a dark past plagues Alexis as they prepare to defeat an adversary more ominous than they could imagine, and a looming secret sets to corrupt the mission, their lives, and his mind.
A high-stakes, speculative romance, which masterfully weaves themes of mental health, psychosis, and found family. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Cassandra Clare from TikTok and BookTok star @andydarcytheo

The descriptions in this book are absolutely amazing of both the characters' appearances and the world around them. Also the dialogue between characters were realistic and at times were both emotional and humorous. Another few things I loved which I haven't seen in other books was the author at the beginning of each chapter giving us a word, its definition and origin which gave a hint about what the chapter would bring and the drawings of the main characters which helped for picturing them. A final thing that I loved was how new characters were introduced at a good pace so it didn't get confusing.
I would've loved some scenes that showed that the children of the elements are just kids, for example them playing games during their time at the Haven and I also would have loved it if there were more scenes of their training.
I really enjoyed this read and would recommend to those who enjoy YA fantasy.

This was a lot of fun!! This was filled with so much action and adventure so I was never left feeling bored and just had such a great time. If you love YA fantasy books you definitely should check out this book! I think I would have loved this more 5/7 years ago when I was a bit younger but overall it was fun and it kept me engage the whole time!
I also loved the found family in this book and the depth to some of the characters!
Final rating 3.5 ⭐️
