4.5 stars, it was soooo good! 
 This review is going to be LEGENDARY!!! 
 Did I just find a new favorite author???? 
 I have this weird schedule that doesn't allow a lot of reading time during the week. I love this book so much, that I was reading it while cooking pancakes to get more reading time with it. (If I remember right I *almost* burned one of them. What can I say? I was at the good part. =p). 
 The Writing: 
 The writing in this book just takes off. It is very fast-paced. It reads like a thriller in a way (I haven't read a lot of thrillers but just saying). Everything just runs off the page and plays in front of you like you're really watching the movie. (But really, how do I say that the writing is good, great, fantastic, wonderful, spectacular, a piece of toast with peanut butter and jelly?) 
 First of all this book is told (*shown*) in two POV's, Day's and June's, both in first person. The chapters are not too long and end at the right places for you to want to read more. You read Day's POV first then move on to June's and back to Day's and so on. 
 And you want to know something cool with the formatting? You know how the cover of the book is gold right? Well Day's POV is written in gold text, while June's is written in the regular black text. Cool huh? Because the publisher of the book change the colors of the POV's I immediately wanted to continue because it attracted my eye so much. And just to let you know, I didn't think the gold text was too difficult to read. 
 So back into the writing. 
 The book also relies on flashbacks. I personally love flashbacks in books, however I also love it when it is very well done like in that special case of Legend. The flashbacks are *needed* in the story. Why? You know the description? And how it talks about June's brother dying? Well you don't get to spend very much time with June's brother around, so we have these really well-written flashbacks that made you feel for June and her lost. Same goes for Day's flashbacks. 
 The Characters: 
 We have two main characters in the story, Day and June. Do you just love their names? They work so well together, like Day June, June Day. Funny I also read this book on a June Day.... =p 
 I really appreciate having Day's POV first. I don't want to go too much detail, but he needed to go first. Day is very caring, but is so good doing what he does, (Day is a criminal just so you know). And Day's back story.... How does he still walk around and does things??? And I love, LOVE how Day does everything in his power to save his family. 
 June was great. (I mean*is* but I just read the book so do I use past tense? #Probably) She notices everything about everything. (Is that even possible?) She is very much like Day in a lot of respects, however she thinks differently about things (yes the characters POV's are very different from each other). Not only is she smart, but maybe a little rebellious? If she doesn't think your system is good enough, well, she'll do it her own way. I really felt for her when her brother died. Because of her brother dying, she wants revenge. Also she happens to be the government's little prodigy. 
 Plot: 
 So what is the plot for this book? 
 It's a Legend! 
 #sorrynotsorry =P 
 So Day is just trying to survive, keep his family alive, and take care of his sidekick Tess. (Tess was a great side character, I love this character so much.) 
 June is trying to just finish college. She has a tendency to get in trouble from thinking the college wasn't teaching you the things you needed to be teach. (From I understand, she often did the more exotic version from what they were teaching her.) 
 Day runs to get help for his family. Then June's brother gets murdered with all the evidence pointing to Day. June goes on a quest for revenge. 
 What I Didn't Like: 
 I really wanted to get this book a 5 star rating, however there was a few things I just didn't *love*about this book. Most of what I didn't *love* I'll put in the Content In Book section of this review. 
 *Spoiler!!!* 
 (view spoiler)[Okay I wasn't sure how to say this about a possible spoiler. I just didn't like the romance. It didn't feel real to me. So for instance June meets Day for the first time and she thinks he looks beautiful? Hmmm, I just don't know, but then again this just could be me. 
 Another thing is, okay I know he had a little too much to drink, but really! They don't know each other at all, and they're kissing? Yuck!!! That is just gross!!! (hide spoiler)] 
 *End of spoiler* 
 Content In Book: 
 Here it is, the content. This book I thought wasn't too bad for content, but everyone is different. 
 1. June said God, or gods in a bad way at least twice in the book. 
 2. There is a lot of violence, some that might be a little descriptive. 
 3. A disease that is a little disturbing. 
 4. A kissing scene I mention above. But be warned of spoilers! 
 5. There is very little swearing in this book. I think the "d" word was used a couple times, but that was it and it wasn't very distracting. 
 Will I Continue With The Other Books In The Series: 
 YES! YES! YES! Of course I'm going to continue! In fact I love this book sooo much, that while I was only halfway through, I went to the library to pick up book 2. Don't know when I'll be able to get to it though. My library stack has about 9 or so books on it I need to first read some other books.... You know the bookworm life. 
 Who Would I Recommend The Book To: 
 LEGENDARY PEOPLE!!! 
 Ha, Ha, Ha! I did it again. 
 Seriously though the people who should love this book are, dystopian lovers, thriller lovers who want a dystopian vibe???, and those who are new to dystopian books, this is probably a good read for you.
