Praise for Marie Lu's "New York Times" bestseller "LEGEND"
From "ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY"
"Fine writing and excellent execution. Sequel, please!"
From "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
""Legend" doesn't merely survive the hype, it deserves it."
From "USA"" TODAY"
"Marie Lu's dystopian novel is a 'Legend' in the making."
From "THE LOS ANGELES TIMES"
"an action-packed love story full of inventive details."
STARRED REVIEW from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
"Lu's debut is a stunner. . . raises hopes high for the sequels to
come. "
STARRED REVIEW from "KIRKUS REVIEWS"
"A gripping thriller in dystopic future Los Angeles. This is no
didactic near-future warning of present evils, but a cinematic
adventure featuring endearing, compelling heroes."
STARRED REVIEW from "BOOKLIST"
"[D]elicious details keep pages turning . . . you've got the
makings for a potent sequel."
STARRED REVIEW from "VOYA"
"A fast-paced blend of action and science fiction (with only a hint
of potential romance) means that this one will likely appeal to
male and female readers alike. Debut author Lu has managed a great
feat--emulating a highly successful young adult series while
staying true to her own voice. "Legend" will give "Hunger Games"
fans something worthwhile to read."
STARRED REVIEW from "LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION"
"This book stands out . . ."
FROM KAMI GARCIA, "New York Times" bestselling co-author of the
Beautiful Creatures trilogy
"A romantic thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world where nothing
is what it seems--"Legend" is impossible to put down and even
harder to forget."
FROM SARAH REES BRENNAN, author of The Demon Lexicon trilogy
"A compelling dystopic world, with diverse characters, high tension
and political intrigue. [If] you liked the Hunger Games, you'll
love this."
