LEGEND is the very first book I read in 2015. I hope it will not be the last and so in order for me to feel more motivated to read I have decided to write reviews on my blog.
PLEASE NO SPOILERS!!!
LEGEND is a dystopian novel by Marie Lu. It is told from two different perspectives: fifteen year old girl named June who is looking forward to a great and fast carrier in the military and a fifteen year old boy called Day, a criminal the government has been searching for for a long time.
I gave this book three stars on Goodreads. I do not really get the hype about LEGEND but maybe I would have enjoyed this book more when I was younger (maybe 14 to 16). To me the way the characters act is rather unrealistic. They change their opinion way too easily and 'the way they discover things' seems a little staged. I did enjoy the way the book was written but I did not relate to any of the characters (Tess is my favorite though). Ultimately that is why I do not think that I will pick up the sequel PRODIGY any time soon. Maybe when there is a movie coming out? ;)
Over all I am sorry to say that I would not necessarily recommend this book but maybe if you are younger it is a cool story to read from the perspective of somebody your own age.
What are your thoughts on the LEGEND? Please do not leave any spoilers in the comments!
