great book!
I loved this book from the second I started reading the first line. The plot was captivating with twists and turns at every corner that no would cold have predicted. I definitely recommend this book to someone who likes dystopian fantasy, action, and romance.

It is violent
This book very violent. There are many torture scenes and a lot of blood and shooting. Aside from that, is is very depressing but enlightening and good.

Legend book is weird
Well, I mean, they kiss behind a rubbish bin and are deeply in love, and then they betray each other, so yeah, it's a bit odd but other than that it is good.

Too similar to other books
If you’ve read one young adult dystopian novel, you’ve read them all. I would not recommend this to people who don’t like romance or don’t like your typical unfair dystopian government.

Horrible book wouldn't recommend.....
To be honest I think the author could've done a lot better in keeping me awake through this book. Halfway through the book I thought to myself "this book isn't that bad". Then as i got to the end, it turned into a teen romance novel.That is when I started to cringe and I stopped reading around 5/6 of the way through. Who decided that it was good to flash forward after two teenagers kissing, then to after them having intercourse? The female teenage character then described what the other character's mouth felt like; which is something no child should have to listen to.
Normally I love reading books and will sit for hours reading one. This book is much different. I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows within 3 days. This book took me over 1 week to finish - keeping in mind this book is only about 400 pages long. Not only is this book boring, it also sends the wrong message to teens about when the right age is to have intercourse. Not to mention, having intercourse is illegal below the age of 18! Not only were they breaking the law, they were sending a bad message to teens everywhere. If you have read my review of this horrid book, I thank you and hope you never let your teenager read this book.
