A bestseller!
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, 15-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his … 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. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks 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 their country will go to keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

I enjoyed it, it was a fun quick read with lots of action and twist and turns. It was easy to tell there was more to the story or June than we led to believe in the beginning, just not 100% what that is.
I liked both June and Day , but to be honest dd not care for them as a couple, it was …

As a California native- a dystopian novel set in the Republic of California- the Western United States since split into an authoritarian dictatorship in a constant state of war against the Capitalist Eastern United States, the Colonies, immediately grabbed my interest.

I may be outside the normal age range for the YA Dystopian Fantasy, but the world of this unknown future really drew me in quickly. Day and June are fantastic characters, and I found myself rooting for them easily. A few of the surprise twists I could see coming long before they arrived, but they were no less fun for it. Definitely recommend …

Legend by Marie Lu is a fast-paced, action packed dystopian novel about two similar people born into opposite worlds. They meet in a surprising turn of events where they are forced to question where their loyalties lie.
Fans of science fiction series like Suzanne Collin’s “Hunger Games” and Veronica Roth’s “Divergent” will enjoy the novel Legend.
An entertaining YA novel, at times it may dumb itself down but does enough to intrigue you as to how the story continues.
Amazing everything
wow! I just reread this series and I’m still 100% obsessed, legend has something for everyone especially a dystopian fan like me, so if you like dystopian READ THIS BOOK
I loved this whole series. I read them before “Rebel” came out, and as such, that is now on my reading list, but I can definitely say I loved the original trilogy!
What is not to like. Brilliant story.
