Legend by Marie Lu
Summary: (amazon)
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, 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. 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.
My Thoughts:
This was on my list for a long time. I'm glad I finally got to it! I love dystopian thrillers and this definitely one. The characters I loved, and the writing was awesome and unique. But some parts really were dragged out and boring. Also, the murder could have been more reacted by June, I felt like she was unaffected. There were also a few language slips that almost made me stop. On the other hand though, it was a really unique romance. I feel like most dystopian romances are cliche and follow the same plot. Not this one! This is great for older readers who want a fun read.
Content: Cautious--dramatic scenes, blood and gore, fist fights, violence, kissing, language
My Rating: 4 stars (I really liked it)
PG13, 12 and up
