Legend by Marie Lu Review

A couple of days ago I found 'Legend' on my bookshelf and since I was waiting for my latest book order to arrive I decided to give it another shot and reread it.
The first time I read Legend I wasn't fully convinced.. So, this time I was pretty sceptic but thought
"Well, maybe I just didn't really get the background of the story".

Here's a quick summary of the book content:

Basically, there's the Republic and the Elector with a great amount of soldiers, a boy, Day, who is considered the public enemy number one and a girl named June Iparis, who is working for the Republic as an agent.
After finding out that June's brother was killed she wants to find the murder and make him pay for what he's done. From what her supervisor told her, Day is the one to be blamed for this incident.
Long story short June finds the supposed murder and what happens now is nothing Day or June would've ever expected...

And let me tell you one thing: I am so unbelievably happy that I did reread it! I loved it! And I give 4/5 stars. The only thing that kind of bothered me was that the main character June is only 15 yrs old and a republic agent. That's just my opinion but I also don't really see why the Republic would feel threatened by Day, who is also 15 yrs old... But other than that I really enjoyed this read and though I do not like ebooks too much (I wanna smell the book and feel the paper!) I almost immediately downloaded the beginning of the second part 'Prodigy' from the ibooks app!

Endgame by James Frey review

I absolutely loved ENDGAME by James Frey ! I had no idea what i'd be reading but like the second I started this book I was lost. Lost in the game. I thought about endgame all the time and tried to figure out what's next. Who will survive, who will not? It's so hard to pick favorites when on the next page something terrible and shattering happens...
The writing is really unique too! You see everything from every angle while it happens and this just gives you so many options to twist and turn the actions! You can definitely understand, or at least see reasonable motives, for why a certain person acted a certain way. The whole book itself was a mystery for me from the very beginning to the end! The puzzle inside is yet just another bonus in the book!
Totally worth reading!! 


I give 5/5 Stars!
