Legend Series by Marie Lu - Reading from 'Legend (Legend #1)' from 8th September 2019

[Sophie]

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.

I finally started this last night! I'm about 19% of the way through and (view spoiler)[sad about Matias! I wonder what happened since the knife went into his arm, not his heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

I finished this! I liked it. It was a fun and exciting book, though I thought that the world building was a bit thin. I hope that improves in the next book! But I did like the characters!

[Tommy]

Finished the first two books in this series

[Rachmi]

Just finished it but if you don't mind, I'm going to join your discussion. I need someone who I can discuss with :)

[Rebecca]

I'm starting this tomorrow, need someone to discuss with :)

[Connie]

I'll start Legend tomorrow after I finish the Hunger Games :)

[Rachael]

I will start this tomorrow as well :)

[Rachael]

Do you guys want to read first?

[Connie]

I would be up for it :)

[Rebecca]

ok, so should we start the prequel tomorrow and the book on Monday?

[Connie]

that sounds good for me, tomorrow is my last day of school for study leave, so I should be able to read the prequel pretty quickly over the weekend :)

[Rachael]

The prequel is only 30 pages so I will probably read it and then move right into Legend... Maybe! I dunno depends on my mood and work load

[Rebecca]

ok, tomorrow prequel, monday book :) if you start other book earlier that's cool but I probably won't have time because I've got assignments due pretty soon

[Rachael]

No problem, sounds good

[Rebecca]

cool :)

[Connie]

I've been dying to start these books for ages!

[Rebecca]

ok I've started the prequel, just finished the first episode 57% (view spoiler)[ ok, I kind of really don't get it, I understand what's going on in that the world has changed and it's now kind of a bit like the caste system in india with the government ruling everything (I think). but I guess this isn't rreally the point of this book it's about introducing these characters. I hope I'm understanding it correctly but if I'm not it won't take long for me to re-read it to understand it better (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

I just finished Life Before Legend (view spoiler)[ I don't really understand the dynamics of this republic yet but I get that I'll be able to understand them as I start Legend which I think I'll do now (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Chapter 1 and 2: (view spoiler)[ I really like how you get a sense of the characters from the off set and I like the different fonts used for Day and for June. (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

finished and all I can say is bring on legend.
