Note: The copy of 'Legend' I read is an uncorrected book
proof.
An amazing start to a promising trilogy. I was quickly
intrigued by the dystopian world this book was set in and soon came to love the
main characters, Day and June, by their narration and actions. With an intense
plot and danger always round the corner, I was on the edge of my seat
throughout the entire novel. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for
action, adventure and a splash of romance; basically, if you've read the
Divergent series and the Hunger Games and are now ready for something even
better.
***
The world that this book puts you in completely sucks you
out of reality. It makes you realise how much influence governments can have
and to what ends people will go to for power and control. From Day's
perspective we also learn that they don't know as much as they would like to
and that they would have us believe. The segregation within the Republic
between the rich and the poor really brings to the forefront of your mind the
issues that living in that type of society brings and gives you all the more
reason to support Day's and the Patriot's cause.
The romance between Day and June, though expected, was a
good match and the story unfolded in such a way that you could understand them
wanting to be together. Also, as the plot unfurled and you found out that they
had many similarities, it seemed right for them to be together. I look forward
to seeing their relationship progressing.
Overall, this was a gripping tale and I can't wait to get
hold of the second book so I can see which characters come into play and how
the plot will progress. I'm especially excited to potentially learn more about
the plague.
