The end of the Lu’s trilogy, Champion. That was something I was not prepared for. She is one of the first YA authors I discovered and ever since that fateful day when I ordered her book from the Scholastic catalogue in my school, my life changed forever.Īnd do you know what book I ordered that day? Yeah, you guessed it.įor the next two years, I, unknowing, went down a path leading to a life changing moment. As for those who have not yet read the books… do so before reading this graphic novel! You’ll get so much more of the story out of the novels, and then you can crush your soul even more by picking up this graphic adaptation.You should all know by now that Marie Lu is one of my all time favourite writers. I highly recommend it to fans of the novels.
It’s definitely a great, breakneck-paced revenge/mystery story despite two major flaws. Overall, I really enjoyed Legend: The Graphic Novel. It was marvelous seeing them steal some kisses, but this adaptation was just so fast-paced that any attempt at the romance felt a bit silly. The relationship between June and Day in the novels is incredible, but it felt so rushed in this graphic novel. The only other negative thing is that the romance really didn’t seem fitting, strangely enough. Which means he, as well as his brothers, would have to be at least part Asian, hmm? So why did the entire Wing family look as white as white can be? Sigh. Isn’t Day supposed to be Asian? I remember Marie Lu once wrote a blog post about Day’s unusual blond hair and blue eyes and Asian features. I didn’t appreciate the white-washing, however. Now… are they ever going to make Legend into an actual movie?! It also moved along so quickly! Very enjoyable. It stayed true to the book from what I recall. I really liked the artwork by Kaari and it was cool seeing the story visually. Legend is my favorite dystopian series ever, so I was very excited to return to the story in graphic novel format. And the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together and the lengths their country will go to in order to keep its secrets. Now, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June tries desperately to avenge her brother’s death. One day June’s brother is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect.
But his motives are not as sinister as they often seem. Born into the slums of the Republic’s Lake Sector, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a military prodigy.
