What a thrilling ride! I was so excited to get started on this book after reading Legend (book 1 of the Legend trilogy). I loved how at the end of Legend it left it open for the character development between June and Day. And lets all admit we were interested to see where Marie Lu would take their characters as the trilogy progressed.
I always deem a book good when it brings out my emotions, whether it makes me mad, frustrates me, gets me excited, etc. This book did exactly that. As you see a lot of people say these days, it had all the feels.
Again, the story is told from dual viewpoints, Day and June taking turns.You join up with June and Day as they continue to flee the republic after June saves Day from his execution. They finally make it to Las Vegas where they are trying to locate the patriots so Day can find his brother and rescue him. Will they find the patriots? Will the patriots finally convince Day to join their cause against the Republic?
The book really picks up in intensity about halfway to three-quarters through. The twist in the plot she throws will leave you grasping your seat.
