This is a fantastic dystopia. I usually don't love the dueling narrators, but it really worked in this case. Not only that, but it really added to the intensity.

I liked the whole idea of the story and the characters...but it seemed to go to fast and some parts were predictable
I was a little disappointed with 'Legend', perhaps because I have been on a bit of a dystopian fantasy splurge but it just didn't live up to my hopes and expectations. I really enjoyed the premise but it felt a little hollow and unbelievable in places- how could the main characters fall for each other so quickly and resolutely?? Anyway, I would probably give the second book in the series a go just because I am a sucker for this kind of story but I wouldn't say that I am excited by the prospect.

okay started out slow but it wasn`t boring. I think slowing I was understanding the book`s "world". The romance went a little too fast
