Legend 01

This book is so good!!! Everything about this is perfection. Day and June are both amazing characters who you just have to root for, even though they're on oppositge sides. I loved their dynamic as rivals who jet had to face each other AND their dynamic after they realized who they both were and what they were fighting for. The dystopian world they live in is also really well thought out and you can clearly see the references to our man made climate change and injustices. In general this book reflects greatly on things that go wrong in our world.

One of the best agents in the Republic of America's military is sent to kill its most wanted criminal. In the end, their love ignites a flame strong enough to start a revolution. One of my favorite triologies of all time! Lovable characters, a thrilling plot and the world building is amazing! :) i can’t begin to describe the love i have for this book <3 definitely a must read if you like dystopian books like the hunger games etc…

OMG !!! What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem. From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets. I don't know where to start. All I can say is that this book was interesting and exciting to read from the first page on. I like the changes bewteen June's and Day's perspective. It gave me a better understanding from their both Point of views. I couldn't put down the book when I started it and it totally desserves 5 out of 5 stars. Like this dystopian Story. and the Setting in Los Angeles. Also reminded me a Little bit of "The Hunger Games".

After hearing so many good reviews about the "Legend" trilogy by Marie Lu I finally decided to give this series a go and was not disappointed. Day and June are different as can be: June, a prodigy from the rich sectors of the Republic and Day, a rather notorious criminal from the slums wouldn't normally cross paths. But after him killing June's brother she vows to hunt Day down...but is that really all that's to it or might there be something else behind the death of the soldier? I have to admit, that I thought the book to be a little bit slow in the beginning, but its pace picks up as it progresses. The story is really smart and intriguing and, for my taste, ends all too soon. I am looking forward to reading the sequel "Prodigy" and recommend this series to fans of "Divergent" and "The Hunger Games".

Los Angeles im Jahr 2013. Eine Seuche verbreitet sich rasend schnell in der Stadt und nicht alle Bewohner können sich den teuren Impfstoff leisten. In dem Buch geht es um zwei Personen: Day und June. Day ist der meist gesuchte Verbrecher der Republik. June wurde ausgebildet um zu Töten sie dient der Republik. Eines Tages wird Junes Bruder bei einem Einsatz getötet. Ein wahres Drama, da June nur noch ihren Bruder hatte, da deren Eltern bei einem Unfall getötet wurden. Deshalb hat June nur noch ein Ziel: den Mörder zu finden!!! Legend“ ist ein geniales Buch! Ich war von der ersten Seite weg gefesselt. So spannend und aufregend! Wahnsinn! Das Buch wird aus der Sicht von June und Day geschildert, dadurch erhält man einen besseren Einblick in die Geschichte. Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich und ich war absolut begeistert. Dystopische Romane sind ja momentan sehr im Trend. „Legend“ ist das ideale Buch für „Tribute von Panem“ Fans! Schade, dass der zweite Teil noch auf sich warten lässt. Am besten Englisch lesen!
