I enjoyed the story that was created here but struggled with the fact that the main characters (Day & June) were only 15 years old. The way they were written, I would have thought they were much older if we weren't made aware of this in the story. I wish there had been more development of how things became as they were and hopefully throughout the rest of the series we will see some additional interaction and background on the colonies and the republic/Proximo.

I am interested to see where the next book goes outside of the lead in that was developed to close Legend.

Ok...I was told i would see the similarity between this and vampire academy. Yes it was there but there was also enough difference to stand on its own.

The characters are solidly written and i am curious to see where the next book goes. It will be interesting to see how Alex's change when she turns 18 will impact her relationships with Aiden and Seth.

One thing i am happy about-even though this is a series, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end....no major cliffhangers outside of what I expected.

Overall I enjoyed the story and look forward to the rest of the series.

Overall a good book. I agree with some reviews that this wasn't an overly exciting installment however there were some very important things going on. I know a lot has happened to Laney since she met Oliver and I'm betting there is more to come. I was happy to see her step out of the "i need to do everything Oliver tells me to" role for a bit and it seems she is having some very conflicting feelings about a number of the relationships she has.

I am interested to see where the story goes as it felt like it ended somewhat abruptly (although that could just be because i was looking for more of a forward progression with Laney and Oliver). I will definitely read the next book and hope we get more of the story behind the rest of Laney's family (father, grandparents, etc.)

Overall i would give 3.5 if allowed.
