makings for a potent sequel.”

“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

is what it seems—Legend is impossible to put down and even
harder to forget.”

and political intrigue. [If] you liked the Hunger Games, you'll

this book in one or two sittings. You will be shaken . . .”
