Legend by Marie Lu REVIEW


Legend Trilogy: Book One
Summary:

Once known as the western coast of the United States, the Republic is now a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors, the Colonies.
Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a military prodigy. Obedient, passionate, and committed to her country, she is being groomed for success in the Republic's highest circles.
Born into the slums of the Republic's Lake Sector, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths--until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered, and Day becomes the prime suspect. Now, caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June tries desperately to avenge Metias's death.
But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths to which their country will go to keep its secrets.

My Thoughts:

It's been a while since I have picked up a dystopian novel, and I am so glad that I picked up this one. I had previously read this author's other novels (which were fantasy), The Young Elites and The Rose Society and enjoyed them so I decided to read the novels she wrote before those. This book was amazing and hard to put down. I highly recommend it.

My Rating: 5 stars
