This second installment in the Legend series followed June and Day on the run, collaborating with the Patriots rebel group, and discovering secrets about the Republic and its politics along the way. I actually liked this book better than the first one because it had deeper political intrigue and more realistic relationship conflicts, both between the two protagonists and with the supporting side characters who would question what they were doing. While the first book made them look like typical incredibly skilled despite being young YA protagonists, this one showed that they are still flawed and are not invincible as they faced challenges and hurdles. I still would've enjoyed this series a lot more when I was in middle school but I am still curious to continue the series and see how it all plays out.

A little saddened about how difficult I found it to get into the beginning of the book but once I passed the halfway point I was very much captured again.

Alot of this book stressed me out with the questioning of loyalties and uncertain behaviour from characters but it made it all the more interesting.

I am intrigued by the introduction of Anden as a character and am hoping he is as good as he seems. I am slightly irked by his attraction to June given his age when she is only 15-16 but I do appreciate his calm demeanour.

That ending ripped my heart in two and I am bracing myself against the events of the final book in the trilogy, I truly hope June and Day are able to thrive and prosper.
