I tried to love it, but I only ended up kinda liking this one. It took me a while to get through the whole book, mostly because I wasn't a big fan of Tella at the beginning. She kinda grew on me a bit as the story went on, but not much. I admire the determination she had in finding and saving her mother, especially since she's so young, and the fierceness with which she protects her loved ones.
Even though I wasn't a big fan of how his storyline was forced into Tella's, it was nice to finally get introduced to the cold-hearted Jacks.
The fact that Legend is supposed to be super old and Tella is 16-about-to-turn-17? And that's supposed to be the love interest in the story? Not only that, Jacks is insanely old, too, yet Tella's kissing guys older than her parents. It's a little weird for me, but it seems pretty common in most YA books so it doesn't distract too much from the story.
It was hard to relate or feel bad for any of the characters in this book. Even Scarlett, who I actually liked in the first book.
I will say though, I love the storyline and the magic that exists in this world, even if it is sometimes confusing how it all works.
Legendary was interesting enough to make me want to finish the series, so I'll be reading Finale to see how the story ends (even though I kinda know already because of OUABH, whoops).
