Finishing Legend made me really wonder (not for the first time) what it was about Marie Lu's novels that seem to went completely over my head? It cannot be her writing since it was more decent than your average YA. Could it be her characters? - maybe. Could it be her stories? - possibly.Clearly it's something. That something that stopped her novels from being a 'Wow' and end up a 'meh'.I truly don't have much to say for this book. Trust me, I tried. I finished it yes. It didn't offend me yes.

The action scenes since I had read The Young Elites I already knew Lu had talent in this arena (that end duel!), and while there was no magic powers this time around

I like an action-packed adventure, don't you?

But when her brother is senselessly murdered, she embarks upon a mission to find his killer--and discovers that all signs point towards Day, a notorious criminal who is already wanted by the Republic.

4.5/5 stars.Just have to point out that all the stars are for Day. The book was very nice, I really liked the idea. Its a bit cliched, but not something critical.
