Cinder! I've read all three, and while I enjoyed Legend, I really did not like Hush Hush. That is not to say you won't like it, it's my personal opinion, of course. Cinder... was just amazing. And the second book to the series, Scarlet, was even more so. I read Cinder in one day and Scarlet in two. Great plot, great characters, and enjoyable writing style. Highly recommended.
in my personal opinion i would suggest cinder and legend there both amazing and worth the time
I started cinder last night and it's just not what I expected. I don't know how I feel about the book. There's something off about it that I don't like. I feel like it's dragging on and I don't really like the setting and the dystopian theme of it. And usually I love those types of books,but I keep forgetting that it's the future and not the past
Cinder and Legend are both good.

I'm about halfway through and it's really good!! After she goes to the lab and everything it gets so much better!! And I actually really really like it!
CINDER ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!
They're all amazing
Cinder. For the love of God do NOT read Hush Hush! I read Hush Hush thinking it had to be awesome because that is what everyone tells you.....and it was just about this TSTL heroine who starts off somewhat intelligent...until this dude Patch shows up and then her intelligence shot below hell. She says, "Yes he might want to kill me, but that's ok because he is hot!" NO. Cinder starts of slow and is rather predictable, HOWEVER, I can say with all honesty that this is the book that saved me from deciding that maybe YA was doomed. Cinder was awesome-Adorable romance that went right, CRAZY freaking villainess-yes a girl is the villain! :D-a swoon worthy male love interest, intense plot, badass heroine, smart plot, etc.
I was skeptical at first but I can say that this has become one of my most favorite series. If you don't like Cinder as much as I am gushing about it give the next one a try because it was EVEN BETTER than Cinder. I cannot recommend these enough to you!
Also, I have heard good things about Legend but I have not read that yet.
Cinder, without a doubt. Completely surprised me. It started as a time filler. What a great choice. Can't wait for the 3rd book Cress this year.
Legend and cinder are both awesome. I havent read Hush, Hush yet though.
If you read Cinder, the second book, Scarlet, was also good.
So far I love cinder! It started off pretty slow and I didn't expect to like it but now I'm almost finished and I love it! All though it's not what I expected at all! But it's still really good and really interesting! I find it a bit predictable but who cares!! I'm still going to read the hush hush series because I got the whole book set of Amazon and one if my best friends loved the series and she usually has good taste in books!!
I would go with Cinder for the first book you read out of the list that you had.
Hush Hush is very slow so u wont feel like reading cinder is faster read and i never read legend so idk i want to read legend but the last person who checked it out in my hs library damaged it badly so let me know(:
Legend or Cinder.. NOT Hush, Hush. I didn't like that book at all...

Cinder and Legend. Legend is an AMAZING book and the trilogy is Superb, while Cinder is a good read with the sequel so much better and addictive.
Cinder and legend of course xDHush Hush wasn't very good... i l\only read it because my friend recommended it q:
Cinder and legend are two of my absolute favorites
Cinder and legend are the best. The first in the hush hush series wasn't bad but it slowly went down hill.
I recommend Legend, and the second book, Prodigy. Didn't care for Cinder.
CINDER! just read it! Do it! NOW!!
Definitely start Cinder! Scarlet was great too. And Cress (Marissa's take on Rapunzel) just came out. Such a clever take on the fairy tale theme. And, Marissa is a very sweet lady. I made a total derpy fangirl of myself when I got to have dinner with her at a writer's conference a couple of years ago. But Hey. At least she remembered me. LOL

Nora wasn't a very strong female character (at least, not like Cinder or June) and the plot wasn't as good.
And don't forget, Marissa's 3rd book in the Lunar Chronicles, Kress, is out now too! Kept me reading all night!
Definitely cinder. I have not read hush Hush, but i didn't exactly like Legend.
Absolutely Cinder. Loved the series!!!!! Kress too.
Cinder, then Legend, then Hush Hush if you have to

I ended up reading cinder first and I loved it! I love the series it's so good!! I loved cinder the most out of all the books! And I read the hush hush series which was actually pretty good! I read the whole series in a week and was addicted! But now I feel lost! The ending pissed me off! And I wish there was more to it! I feel like there was so much left out! I still need to read legend!

But these dystopian themed books seem to build off of each other. I've read Cinder, but gave up, (I should give it another go), and I do believe that Cinder has some element of Legend in it. Slightly.
The Plague knocking on everyone's door step, everyone trying to survive off of what they can. It all seems VERY familiar. So I couldn't help but think, huh, it would be interesting to see something, that even though the books are set in different places, Legend in America and Cinder in Europe, it would intrigue me to see a collaboration, to make a worldly novel.
But that wouldn't happen because, again, even if they still share some elements, some of them are way off key.
Cinder tunneled more to science fiction when Legend snuggled into post-war.
Also another thing I was considering. I hate when authors decide that they're going to make a 'badass' character, with absolutely NO problems! They're not puppets that you get to toy around with. They have feelings in their own way. I also like what you said about Hush Hush. Even though I haven't read it, it's a ton of bull that authors decide that they can make people drop their act in order to fall for some guy or girl. It's stupid.
Cinder!!!!At first it was kind of hard for me to follow but around page 48, everything just kind of clicked and i realised what was happening in the book and could not put it down! TBH i am 13 and I had a bit of trouble with all the mechanical and advanced technology talk but after a while of reading the book i finally knew and folowed what all of it was. PS another AMAZING book series is The Unwanteds..that series was my favorite until The Lunar Chronicles came along.
