Between the Order, the powers and the war, I was once again stunned by the intricate and creative world Tracy Deonn creates. Not even the blocks of information used to deliver the worldbuilding or my slight confusion around the intricacies of the powers could detract from the incredible world.

BORN A CRIME: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
The detailed writing brings each story within this book to life. Even with the heavy topics mentioned, the narrative remained entertaining as a light-hearted and casual tone was maintained throughout. While the narrative is also slightly disjointed, the additional information provided by numerous tangents made this book more elaborate and compelling.

WHITE SMOKE by Tiffany D. Jackson
The clear writing style is delightfully haunting. A tense, creepy atmosphere is established from the start and maintained throughout the story. As strange events occur, the history behind these is gradually teased out, keeping the information easy to grasp and engaging.

LEGENDBORN by Tracy Deonn
Told from Bree’s point of view, the rich narrative nicely captures everything she encounters and feels. Her gradual immersion into the secret, magical world alongside ours is perfect for gently establishing the complex world without the dreaded info dump. Not only is the worldbuilding filled with intricate lore, but it also touches on serious themes such as racism and slavery.
