Review on Legend - Marie Lu

      Overall I thought Legend was a very good book. I enjoyed reading it and it kept me on edge throughout. Marie Lu did a great job of getting you attached to the characters and really putting their lives in your point of view. It was very detailed with plenty of action and suspense as well as a bit of hidden humor. The story and plot line was very engaging and kept you locked into it. At some points I really just couldn't stop reading because I needed to know what would happen next. I would
give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Summary of the end of Legend

      A summary of this portion of the book is June hires a group of Patriots to cause chaos in the city on Day’s Execution day so she can help him escape. The patriots set off a bomb that causes all guns to be rendered useless. They also rained down money onto the streets to cause chaos. June then confronts Thomas and escapes him before grabbing Day and running to a Patriot truck to escape. John, Day’s brother, stays behind to distract the Republic soldiers in order to let June and Day escape. 

Character Changes

      I've noticed a lot of changes in Day and June since the beginning of Legend. June has gone from a young prodigy of the Republic to a rebel. After finding out the truth about her parents death and her brothers death, she realizes that the country she has always trusted was really lying to her the entire time. Although she still has some connections, she leaves her old life of luxary and joins Day on his trip to Vegas. Day has matured a lot over the story. He was always more of a sneaky troublemaker for the Republic but he is becoming the figure of a revolt against the Republic. He has gained a lot of responsibility and attention. They will both need to learn to work together and strategize if they want to stay alive

Starting to read Prodigy

      I've read a few chapters into prodigy and so far, my predictions are close but a bit off. June and Day do get to Vegas safely and get caught by a police officer, luckily a Patriot rebel finds them and brings them to safety. They meet a patriot leader and he tries to recruit them. Because they really have no other choice, Day and June agree to join the Patriot forces and help them overthrow the Republic. The only problem is, their first mission is to assassinate the Republics newly crowned leader. The same leader who June had met days before and who has a strong intrest in June. You can look into getting a book in this series from Marie Lu's website.
