Dear Diary,
I finished Legend last night, the audiobook version, and my hands are still shaking. Not from the cold-though it's been unseasonably brisk-but from how close it felt. Jenny Sterlin's voice, that perfect blend of sharp and vulnerable, carried me right into June's world. You could hear the weight of her expectations, the way her voice cracked when she spoke of Metias, the way it hardened when she tracked Day. It wasn't just listening; it was feeling her pulse in my own chest.
This book? It's not just dystopian. It's a knife to the heart, a race against time, and a secret that cracks the Republic wide open. June, born to privilege, so sure she's on the right side of the law-it's her world shattering when her brother dies, and the prime suspect is Day, the boy everyone fears. Day, who's been surviving in the slums, who's been hiding something. The tension? It's not just between them. It's the Republic itself, breathing down your neck, whispering lies that feel like truth.
What got me? The way the audiobook made the twist hit harder. Sterlin's voice dropped when Day finally spoke the truth-just a whisper, but it echoed. I had to pause, just to catch my breath. Because it's not just about revenge or survival. It's about how the system uses people, how it twists truth until it's unrecognizable. June and Day aren't just enemies; they're two sides of the same broken coin. And the moment they realize it? That's when the real story began.
I kept thinking: How did Marie Lu do this? She built a world so vivid, so real, that the Republic felt like a place I'd actually lived in. The elite districts, the grinding poverty of the streets, the constant fear-it wasn't just backdrop. It was the air they breathed. And Sterlin's narration? It didn't just read it. She made it thrum in your ears. You could hear the city's heartbeat, the way it beat faster when danger was near.
I've read a lot of YA dystopias. This one? It's different. It's got the heart of a thriller, the soul of a tragedy. The ending left me breathless-not because it was a cliffhanger, but because it felt true. Like everything that came before had been leading to this moment, this fragile, terrifying truth. I'm already waiting for Book 2, but honestly? I'll probably just replay this one. Because hearing June's voice, feeling her rage and doubt and the slow, terrifying dawning of something bigger than herself? That's the kind of story that stays with you.
It's not just a book. It's a conversation. And I'm glad I had the chance to hear it.
