Legend by Marie Lu


     One of my favorite dystopian books is Legend by Marie Lu.  This book is set in the future in what used to be the United States of America.  There is civil unrest, as the Republic and the Colonies are at war.  The story is told from alternating points of view. June is a soldier for the Republic.  Day is an outlaw and the country's most-wanted criminal. 
     When June's brother is killed, she believes Day is the person responsible.  So, she goes undercover to meet Day, capture him, and bring him to justice.  However, once June meets Day, things aren't as black and white as she once thought.  The Republic that she loves so much isn't what it seems and neither is Day.  Things become complicated very quickly, and Day and June try to figure out where their loyalties lie. 
     I loved this book!  The alternating points of view made the story so much more suspenseful!  There was dramatic irony throughout, and the plot was eventful.  It was a fast, easy, enjoyable read.  This is the first book in a planned series, and I can't wait for the next book to be released!
