The second installment to the Legend series was so good! Definitely moved a lot faster than Legend, and I enjoyed it a ton. My heart broke at the end with the revelation from Day. <Spoiler>I hope he and June can come together again in the third book and I hope this story doesn't have a tragic ending (which it appears to be heading for). </Spoiler> I found the weird love triangle totally unnecessary for this story and it felt like an afterthought. I like it when boys and girls can be just friends and there's no weird animosity emanating from one or the other when a new male/female character enters their vicinity. I did enjoy the inclusion of Anden's character and I'm interested to see what happens with him now that everything has gone sideways from what he thought it would be.
