I felt like I was reading about 17 year olds and I almost wish that they were older just for the sake of what they have to go through but it really isn’t a big deal. They weren’t immature despite being only 15 years old and they didn’t grate on my nerves like some teen leads can.
June was great on her own as was Day but I loved the chemistry they had together. It might make some readers uncomfortable but I thought it really added to the story. It is definitely on the darker side in the sense that it isn’t afraid to talk about death or feature killing. Yes, it had similar elements but I found the story to be very refreshing. What I also loved was that this book wasn’t like other dystopian books out there. There were some great twists and turns along the way and I found that the suspense never died. You have the overall political issues, the class divisions and then the main plot for the individual novel. Like most dystopian novels, it has many layers to it. I was sucked into the book the moment I started it and couldn’t put it down. It has strong lead characters (especially a strong female heroine), suspense, mystery, a dash of romance and action. But after reading the first novel, Legend, I’m upset with myself that I waited this long! Review of Legend (#1): I also let it slip to the back of my mind and read other, more “popular” dystopian novels. I’ve wanted to read Legend since it first came out in 2011 but I could never get my hands on a copy from the library. **This post has now been updated to include the newest publications in the series.** My Expectations/Why I Picked it Up: Publication Dates: November 2011 – October 2019 Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Adventure, Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction, Political
