What’s it about? Don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler! The Legend Trilogy follows star-crossed lovers June and Day. In the dystopic future of Los Angeles, June Iparis is a budding military prodigy. Day, a clever and infamous Robin Hood, survives on the streets while his family thinks he’s dead. When his little brother catches the plague, it sends him on a path that collides with undercover officer June. Will she turn him in, or fall for his tender touch and stunning good looks? Will he save his brother from dying of the plague? And what horrible secrets is the government hiding about the plague, the aptitude trials for teens, and the death of June’s entire family?

Should you read it? I absolutely love this series. June is likable but not a damsel in distress, and Day is just dreamy enough without being overboard. This is fast-paced, direct writing at it’s best. If you hate wading through pages of description, you’ll love Ms. Lu’s on-point writing style. With the release of Champion, we finally get an answer as to whether or not June and Day will finally be together, and if they can save the Republic. Four stars!
