Oathbound

The Legendborn Cycle

De: Tracy Deonn

Narrado por: Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Andrew Eiden, Hillary Huber, Tim Paige, Adenrele Ojo

Tracy Deonn’s #1 New York Times bestselling Legendborn Cycle continues in the sensational third book about a dazzling contemporary fantasy world that blends Southern Black Girl Magic with secret societies and the legend of King Arthur!

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 while their Round Table is fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to grant him an audience, the Order’s Merlins imprison him. No one knows what he will demand of the Regents…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.

Voice Acting

First I want to say the whole series is an amazing read with an equally amazing premise. I love the fact that the characters are complex and the story line has great twists and turns. I had gotten used to the original narrator and her delivery of the character voices. This last audio version was jarring to begin with. I have to insert here that I will I usually return an audio book if the narrator's voice or delivery is off putting to me. Overall the book itself was amazing but the voice actor who did Mariah's voice came off as what she thinks someone from Georgia sounds like and it seemed like a caricature. This almost made me stop listening. Also, the way names or words were pronounced by the new voice actors made me wonder if they even listened to the previous books at all. At any rate I'm glad I powered through and got the jaw dropping ending this series loves to give its readers. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Omg!!!!!

They are making me write fifteen words for this review but I have no words! Everything was omg!

Tracy. My life is ruined. I need you to fix it. ASAP. Thnx you

Exhilarating, new friendships, new twists, love for friends, loss, new evil, unexpected surprises, and will have you hanging on for dear life. 10/10 LOVED!!!

This series has forever changed me

Just read the book please, whatever you do. Tracy Deon is a master storyteller.I’m still reeling from that ending.

Outstanding!👏🏾

After the long wait, this book did not disappoint! I will say though, it requires refreshing your memory from the previous book so that the reader can follow. I loved the different points of view and feel that they took the book to another level. The narrators were awesome! I also enjoyed the new characters. The book is very well written, with engaging and likeable characters. As always, the ending blew my mind!🤯🤯 Tracy, please don't make us wait another 2 years for the next one, because I can't wait to see how this is going to play out. Selwyn's mother, please step to the front. We have questions!😝

Reread the 1st 2 books, not a trilogy.

I highly recommend rereading the first 2 books before this one. I didn’t and was a little lost and confused at times with all the information that I had clearly forgotten. Which was a theme for the FMC. I loved the growth and introduction of new characters and the different POV’s. The pace of the story was a little jarring, due to the time jumps that were occurring in the beginning and jumping from POV to POV, and then for a good stretch of the story that stops happening. Lastly, I wasn’t expecting this book to go where it did. I thought this was a trilogy but the way this ended and all the storylines that are left unfinished, it definitely is not a trilogy.

The narrators did a phenomenal job. Highly recommend listening.

of course there's always more

basically I've had to do a lot of driving and I finished this book in 3 days....... sooooo when will book 4 be available. surely you can already guess this story does not disappoint...... I think what I'm going to do is take it back to book 1 & 2 and then listen to this one again.

Amazing!!

Just Amazing! It’s witchy, black girl magic, suspenseful, you don’t want to put it down!!
A must read!!!

Mariah’s reader is TERRIBLE

I listened to the others on audio and loved them. In this one, the storylines get splintered, so more readers do the audiobook. The one who reads for Mariah is awful—clearly didn’t listen to the first books for Abbott-Pratt’s voices and mangles the southern accent. She also uses bizarre phrasing, taking breaths after articles and verbs. I cannot believe someone okayed this. Deonn would be horrified at the Welsh especially.

I’m like a quarter of the way through and had to pause to leave this review because Mariah’s reader is unbearable. Heads up for other listeners: using 1.2 speed for her sections helps.

Interesting twist.

Great follow up to the previous books. Left me wanting more with a twist I didn’t see at first. Now I’m ready for the next book.
