Legend by Marie Lu
4.0

Ahoy me mateys!

If you liked the hunger games then you will certainly like this. I am a little behind in getting to these books. I couldn’t put legend down and stayed up way too late reading into the night (a habit of mine). This is another dystopian novel of our (well the United States) possible future with children as the heroes of course. The main characters are a boy named Day and girl named June. Both are fifteen years old and intelligent and savvy. But of course they are on opposite sides of society. June is living life in the high social order of the ruling class and Day is a criminal. This leads to a somewhat predictable yet always enjoyable through line in the relationship between the two of them. The first book does not get too much into the underlying problems of the leaders or politics of the Republic but the hints are there for the next book in the series. I hope I get a lot more details and specifics. Onward!
