Legend series

1. Legend

The flooded coast of former Los Angeles. Two warring nations of North America—the Republic and the Colonies.

Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy. Obedient, passionate, and committed to her country, she is being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles.

Born into the slums of the Republic’s Lake Sector, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother is murdered. And Day becomes the prime suspect. Now, caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival while June tries desperately to avenge her brother’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together and the sinister lengths their country will go to in order to keep its secrets.

2. Prodigy

June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengence, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

Drunk On You

I've been meaning to read this.

Stay to the Lights

You should. It's a great book. I think the 2nd comes out early next month, or very soon.

Andie

I started reading it but somehow have a hard time getting into it. I started it twice now... Not sure why it doesn't 'click' with me.

Stay to the Lights

Aw that's a shame.

Andie

It is. I have heard great things about it after all!

Stay to the Lights

Yeah. But even so, it's not a guarantee that you'll like it. Everyone takes on books different ways.

Stay to the Lights

I'm starting on Prodigy!

Stay to the Lights

Nad, what did you think of the book?

Nad

That's rather unusual, I'm usually the one who has a problem with books not 'clicking' with me

Just finished reading the first book, enjoyable read so far. The setting reminded me of The Hunger Games at times, but I think that comes with the genre.

Stay to the Lights

It does. I suppose you find that a lot within the genre, but with each book they have their own unique story, like this one.

Did you like both Day and June?

Nad

Wasn't so sure on what to make of June from the get-go, but she's growing on me

Surprisingly I liked Day from the get go - not sure if that was intended or not, given that we don't know whether or not he's guilty or not in the beginning.

Stay to the Lights

Yeah. I wasn't sure what to think of June in the beginning, but I grew to love her. I love that, as bad as it sounds, her life was thrown upside down and she understood the republic is not the good guys as she thought they were.

Yeah. I liked him too. I think we were meant to sympathize with him.

Nad

Not entirely sure yet what to think of Tess, there's just something about her that doesn't click with me.

That said, I had one character that I couldn't stand from the get-go - Cdr. Jameson, she was clearly a 'bad guy' to me right away

Stay to the Lights

Oh Tess annoys the heck out of me.. especially in Prodigy.
