This gritty, futuristic read kept me up late at night, and it was definitely worth it. Lu had crafted a realistic world with strong supporting characters and contrasting leads. Although the family background of June and Day were starkly different, they were thrown together after fate had June's brother killed. The novel alternated between June and Day's POV and readers could understand so much more about the terrible lengths that the manipulative government was willing to go in order to control its people. 
 Lu had an unique way of building the tension and drawing readers into the story that they could not help but watch scenes unfold in front of them with breathless anticipation. Legend was definitely one of the must-reads for dystopian lovers!
