Legend by Marie Lu is about two teens from two different worlds. June is wealthy and on her way to being one of the best police officers/military officials in the area. Day, the most notorious criminal in the country, was born in the ghetto and lives his life to protect those he loves. He is almost like a modern-day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and helping the poor. June is convinced Day was responsible for the death of her brother - her only family left - and has vowed to hunt him down. Day has learned his mother is sick with a mysterious illness that keeps plaguing the land and is desperate to obtain the extremely expensive medicine that will cure her. Their two paths cross when June goes undercover. What she doesn't realize right away is the boy she's befriended on the streets is actually the criminal she's been hunting! Will she betray their friendship and turn him in? Can she get over her feelings about the death of her brother once she learns the truth? Will Day's mother receive the medicine she needs to survive?
This was an awesome book! The story was told through the alternating perspectives of June and Day. There was science fiction, adventure, action, even a little romance!... qualities any reader will enjoy.
