June’s brother Metias, a highly ranked officer in the military, is killed in the process and June is then tapped to track down Day. He survived, and has dedicated his life to pissing off the Republic and keeping his family safe from afar because he’s a wanted criminal.ĭay’s brother has come down with a mysterious plague (due to government experimentation in chemical weaponry, as he later discovers), so Day breaks into a hospital to get a cure. Day was failed and delivered over for experimentation before being left for dead. June got a perfect score on her Trial, and is called the Republic’s policy. The Republic rules by martial law and children are selected for military service based on their performance in a grueling series of mental and physical tests given at ten years old called the Trial. The dystopian government of the western US is called the Republic and their sworn enemies are the Colonies, the remnants of the former eastern US. Legend is in a dark future Los Angeles, 15-year-old June, a highly skilled military trained female working for the government, chasing down 15-year-old Day, a rebel, street-smart male and proponent of non-violent resistance. I figured I might as well get a review out of it right? Of course right. I’m starting out with the Legend series, by Marie Lu, because a friend of mine wanted me to read them and discuss them with her. If you haven’t read a particular series and don’t want to be spoiled, bookmark my review for later.) (All of these will be spoilery, so be aware. So if you’ve been dying to have a review written of your favorite trilogy (or just want to see me suffer), you will have your chance. I’m also going to make it more fun for myself by allowing you all to choose the series of books I read from now on. Boredom or self-hate? I’m not sure, probably both. Since that show I review is on hiatus, I’ve decided to make my life interesting by doing a series of reviews of YA dystopian trilogies.
