The title makes perfect sense because this series is literally Legend! Marie Lu is a genius!
It's plot is set 150 years from today. Two very different people born in two different sectors meet and later do they realize that no matter how different they are, they're still so alike based on their principles, their intellect and their capacity love and forgive.
I read the first book when I was in first year but the story's stuck in my head for almost 3 years already, all the events fresh as if I've just read it yesterday. Its a love story, yes, but something's present in this book that stood out from the other recent books I've read: patriotism.
Ive never fell in love with a book and cried over it like I have with this one. Its not the typical fiction books with their female protagonist you have to worry about whether she'll make it till the end or wait for her to do something. The characters are strong willed and smart and they're fighting for their lives, sacrificing everything they have for the Republic.
I am so done reading books with lame, weak female characters because honestly, what do you get from them? The same misery? That's so sad.
Reading a book with strong women for protagonists motivates you. If they've gone through, dodging millions of gunshots or escaping prison or are misunderstood but they hold their ground and fight for what they believe in, it gets you thinking "if they can do all those then I can go on with this day.''
Yeah, yeah they're fiction. But fictions are based on reality but more creative and less boring.
