Legend

LegendLegend. Well, it kept me up until past midnight, so I must say that it was good. On one hand we have June. She's a prodigy. Top of the top. She's also in trouble. But things really go downhill once her brother is murdered. The prime suspect is the Republic's most wanted criminal, the fifteen-year-old Day. June is out to find him, and when it comes to her, she doesn't fail. Day. Prodigy? He doesn't think so. He failed the test everyone is forced to take at age ten, thus earning him the life of a fugitive. His mother doesn't even know he's alive. He hides out on the streets, occasionally interfering with government projects. But when one of the dreaded plagues threatens the life of his little brother, it's time to take some bigger risks.
I won't give any more away, just because it's way to exciting and detailed to cover here. But believe me when I say, it's awesome. Because of some angsty material, I recommend this book for ages 13 and up. Author: Marie Lu. Release date: 2011 On a scale of 1 being not so good, and 10 being the very best book I've ever read, I rate this book a 7.
