A New York Times bestseller!
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias'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 keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

Even if I've read this a million times before, this book is still so much fun.
One might even say it's legendary.
RTC.
Bad. Cashing on dystopia-mania in YA lit.
Felt nothing for the characters, kept wondering when the action would start and finally just gave up.
Life is short, there are far better books to read.
I give it rather a 4.5 stars. I like the world Legend is in. I find the opposite two worlds of the main characters fascinating. I had a little trouble first with the name Day, but i got used to it very quickly. I hope the next one will be a little more thrilling, but i really cant wait for them. I hope they will get better, so i can give them 5 stars ;)
