“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.”
