 Review: After loving The Young Elites so much, I decided to pick Legend up again. This is the second time IaEUR(tm)m reading Legend. I remember the first time I read it, I absolutely, undoubtedly loved it. I could not find anything shabby in the book at all. And this time, I feel the same. I still love this book. 
 So, Legend is a dystopian novel that follows a story of the United States divided into two, the Republic and the Colonies of America. It tells a story of two teen, Day aEUR" the most wanted criminal in the Republic aEUR" and June aEUR" the RepublicaEUR(tm)s sweetheart whoaEUR(tm)s got a perfect score of 1500 in her trial. Ever since the incident that happens to JuneaEUR(tm)s brother, she assumes that Day is the one whoaEUR(tm)s responsible for it and she is planning to help the Republic capture Day. 
 Initially, I wasnaEUR(tm)t that excited to reread Marie LuaEUR(tm)s writing again, I was just here for the plot. But damn, her writing was firm and strong. It kept me on turning the pages really fast, I got through every word really easily even though most of them were really sci-fi-ish and military-ish. She separated the point of views of the characters perfectly. It was captivating and beautiful. I was addicted. I still am and I will pick whatever book Marie Lu releases. 
 Oh, this book gave me hell for reading it the second time. I especially love the plot. It was constant and it didnaEUR(tm)t stop for me to breathe. There were a lot of actions and investigation. This book wasnaEUR(tm)t fatigue, it was anything but fatigue because it always kept me on edge. It was very lucrative and even though the book is dystopian, I donaEUR(tm)t find this correspond with any book IaEUR(tm)ve read before. From the beginning, this book was here to hurt, it stuck really bad. And at the end, the action died down then end of the book. ThataEUR(tm)s it. 
 Let. Me. Tell. You. About. The. Freaking. Characters. June is damned badass. SheaEUR(tm)s fierce, intelligent, and strong as hell. AND SHEaEUR(tm)S FIFTEEN. I couldnaEUR(tm)t love her more, she didnaEUR(tm)t whine. She was scholarly smart, she was valiant and informative; I loved June, I loved that she keeps herself in her head and put her logic before her feelings. IaEUR(tm)d say I had the same feeling with Day as a character. I loved him, just not as much as June. Day is also strong and assertive, but I believed that he was more emotional and less cold-hearted than June. I loved him being a really soft character and would sacrifice everything for his family, itaEUR(tm)s brave and empowering. 
 Overall: I love this book, for beginning to end. Oh heck, I even love the whole trilogy. I have finished all the books and I would always recommend this to people no matter what genre they read.
