Legend (Legend, #1) - Marie Lu Legendary, Legend is not.Cue indifference:This review will be pretty un-legendary, too. Because flu.Judging by reviews, a lot of people seemed to have been blown away by Legend. Personally, I found it to be quite forgettable. It wasn’t horrible, so it was easy enough to pick up, but it was also just as easy to put down. It was pretty typical fare, as dystopians go.Here's a short and lazy bulleted list, because flu. Yes, it's definitely time for the mediocre effort of a bulleted list:- Implausible and unexplained world-building. You say your society is whaaa? And it became that way how? And the world-wide ramifications are whaaa? Don't ask these questions while reading this book and you'll greatly improve your reading experience. - MC's with near super "powers".Oh, you and your bum knee are just going to jump out of a two-story window and Walk It Out? Okay.Oh, the other MC is going to scale a building Spiderman-style?  Okay. - Near insta-love. Near. It wasn’t exactly love at first sight, but the romance definitely progressed rather quickly. I was neither convinced nor moved.- Super-predictable. The pacing is decent for the most part, but that’s moot, because you will always know what happens next. - So forgettable, that I’m running out of points to make.I will say that there were a couple of heart-stopping moments that helped this book to not suck too much.Bottom line: Marie Lu's Legend is at best mediocre, much like this lackluster review, but decent enough that I’ll try the sequel [b:Prodigy|13414446|Prodigy (Legend, #2)|Marie Lu|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1336254717s/13414446.jpg|18712554].For better more reviews, visit my blog:
