I enjoyed learning how the Republic started, that’s the one thing I was wondering about while reading Legend. Some of the dialogue to catch readers up felt a bit forced, but this was only at the beginning. By the end I was like, NO!! They’re meant to be! (Whispers otp. Though things wrapped up, not everything was happily ever after.Īt the start of Prodigy I liked both June and Day, but I had no feelings whatsoever about whether they wound up together or not. I’m glad they were all released otherwise I would’ve been screaming for the next one. Everything wrapped up so wall it felt like the final book of the trilogy not the second. Legend is a unique Dystopian and my favorite so far! The world the author created is rich and I could really picture it in my head, from June’s fancy apartment to the streets of the Lake Sector. She’s told the truth, but she also figures it out for herself and as such it’s more gradual and realistic for her to totally change her beliefs. Day already knows how terrible the government is, but June buys the propaganda. In a Dystopian there usually comes a time when the main character realizes what kind of a world they really live in. The story is told from both points of view and I rarely confused the two of them. June is the kind of person who notices every detail and kicks butt in a fight and Day is great at making complicated plans and leaping about on buildings. They’re both really smart and talented, but in different ways. The characters are both similar people, even though they’ve led very different lives. (Copying something that Day’s known for.) She’s always getting in trouble for her outrageous stunts her latest was scaling a sky scraper to see how fast she could do it. She lives with her brother, a captain in the military (their parents are dead) and goes to the top academy in the country. Where Day failed his test June did more than pass, she’s the only one ever to get a perfect 1500 score. At ten every child takes the trial and the results decide what their lives will be like. At the start of Legend the plague has spread to the poor Lake sector where his family lives. He lives on the streets with a little girl named Tess and secretly watches over his family who believes him to be dead. He’s guilty of numerous crimes, including theft, breaking into military bases and blowing up jets, but he never hurts anyone. I was also afraid that it wouldn’t hold up to the outstanding beginning, but it did! The plot, the characters, the world, the voice, they were all perfect! I loved it all! (Molly, tone down the fangirl…)ĭay is fifteen and the most wanted person in the Republic. This was one of those books that started so good I wanted to read it slowly and savor it.
