I got it for christmas and was all like um not the book for me. Picks up the book a few years later, thinks to ones self oh my gosh why didn't I read this before
At first I was confused, until it hit me! You were seeing two different characters fight the same issue, but from both sides. Day and June were both inspiring in their own ways and showed us how to make an unlikely relationship work.
I had the same issue, but then, when i figured it out, I was like WOW this is a BEAUTIFUL book!!!!
Really good book, as most books in series this is the most interesting of all of them. I enjoy how the book is in two different perspectives.
This is one of the best books ever. It my favorite book ever! So is the rest of the series.
You will not want to put down this book once you start. Legend tells a story about a thief and the person trying to catch the thief. It is interesting how both sides tell much different stories. I would totally recommend this book for anybody older than 11 who like violence. I can't wait to read the second book!
This was an great book great if you like hunger games and divergent

This book is so awesome! The book has a few gruesome parts. Marie Lu planned the plot of the book very well. I would definitely recommend it to people who like action!
This book was AMAZING! It was a little violent, but still good. I loved the plot of this book. And all the action was enough to make me SCREAM!!!!!!!!!! I loved this book so much that i could read it 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times. I would recommend this book to people who love the hunger games, dirvirgent, and the maze runner.
I don't like legends
