June is rich, her brother is a powerful and important soldier in the Republic's army, and her skills are remarkable. Day is dirt-poor, on the run from the law, apparently homeless, but his skills equal June's. What brings these two teenage characters together is the stuff of legends, and the plot of this book, so I won't give it away. I can tell you that the story takes place in an imagined future in the American west, that there is a good assortment of likable and believable characters, and that the action, including some rough fight scenes, is fantastic.
This is probably my favorite of this type of books: The teen dystopian/futuristic America drama/adventure series with a strong but flawed heroine/hero. With Marie Lu's Legend, you've got the real deal. June and Day are both fascinating characters, and to see what happens when their worlds spin together makes for an unforgettable story.
There are many middle grade/teen series out there, but this one has just as much action and suspense as the others, but none of the graphic love scenes. It's a winner, trust me. Keep your eye on Marie Lu!
