I just read this! I'm really eager to get into the next book, as I found this one really compelling. What did you think of it? 

Started really slow and due to it being a debut novel I was expecting it to be so-so. The ending was crazy though and I think (know) the series gets better. Here's my full review cuz it's complex, haha...

- All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, and Network Effect by Martha Wells, books 1, 2, and 5 of the Murderbot Diaries series. All rereads and just as good as the first time!!!!!!!

- Legendborn, Bloodmarked, and Oathbound by Tracy Deonn, books 1-3 of the Legendborn Cycle. First two were rereads and BETTER the second time.

I like Martha Wells' fantasy books, have yet to try Murderbot though. @Aimee  why only 2 stars for the first one? Curious!

 

A co-worker recommended Legendborn and my 13-yr-old really enjoyed the first two and bought #3 a few days after it came out but has yet to read it (was trying to re-read the other two first). What did you like most about the series?

Honestly, just wasn't for me. I had a few chuckles and the premise was interesting but I just couldn't get into the story or the characters.
