Legend by Marie Lu - this one's a winner
Legend is one of those stories
that will really capture young (and not so young) readers, in the same way the
Hunger Games series has. The absorbing narration of the story is told by two
alternating voices: Day and June. In their dystopian world, Day and June are
from opposite sides of the track: June, privileged and of high rank in military
society and Day a rebel hiding out in the streets.
At first I couldn’t like June. She
seemed spoiled and conceited, but as the story unfolded I found myself
believing in her and hoping she would be the one who would take a chance and
help Day and his people. The pace of the story is quick and the plot full of
action.
Grab a copy – a second book is
coming out soon.
