✩🔟💛Legend Deluxe Set:

The “Legend” series completely changed my life. Before I stumbled upon the then trilogy, I was not much of a bookworm. I have Marie Lu and her writing to thank for transforming me from a nonreader to a reader.

Her books were some of the first that I read that were written from two different perspectives, which my middle school self was blown away by. “Legend” specifically also introduced me to the tropes I now gravitate towards today (mainly enemies-to-lovers) and solidified my love for the dystopian genre.

It is so surreal to think that this favorite series of mine turned TEN this year and is finally making its way to the big screen. I could not think of a better way to celebrate than to purchase Fairyloot’s gorgeous deluxe set. Brand new books for the next ten years of rereading June and Day’s story, swooning over paperclip rings, and ugly crying after stumbling through the final chapter of “Champion.”

From the bottom of my heart…thank you Marie Lu for writing this series that changed my life and for being involved in the adaptation process. Happy ten year anniversary 💛

Legend 4 title and information released

Eden Wing is a brilliant student. He’s about to graduate a year early from Ross University of the Sciences, with honors, and already has an internship lined up back in the Republic. But most people don’t introduce Eden this way. Instead, they say, “This is Eden, Daniel Wing’s younger brother.”

Ten years ago, Eden’s brother Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. His name was spray-painted on walls, his profile splashed on both rebel pamphlets and wanted posters. He went from being a hunted criminal to a national hero in less than a year.

Day has spent the past decade piecing together his memory of his time in the Republic, pretending to enjoy life in Antarctica’s capital, Ross City , and quietly hiding out from the world—even if it’s meant giving up June, the great love of his life. As long as he can keep his little brother safe, that’s all that matters . . .

But Eden isn’t safe. As the two brothers struggle to accept who they’ve each become, they grow more distant from one another than they've ever been. Eden finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into Ross City’s dark side, until even his legendary brother can’t save him. At least not on his own.

When June suddenly steps back into Day’s life, rekindling the flames of their romance, the pair team up to do whatever it takes to rescue Eden. But like the rest of the world, they may have underestimated Eden—what he’s capable of, where his loyalties lie, and how hard he’s willing to fight for what he believes.

With unmatched suspense and her signature cinematic storytelling, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu plunges readers back into the unforgettable world of Legend—for the most thrilling adventure yet. A truly grand finale.

BOOKS I READ IN 2017: Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu 

My mother used to hope that I would rise up from my humble roots. Become someone sucessful, or even famous. I’m famous all right, but I don’t think it’s what she had in mind.

the legend series will always remain in my top 5 favorite ya series of all time. the love i have for this series truly has no bounds. marie lu’s writing is absolutely breathtaking. i was completely engrossed in the story which was both fast-paced and thrilling. i thoroughly enjoyed how the reader got to experience the story through both June and Day’s perspectives and my heart nearly exploded as i laid witness to their relationship take flight. The series’ conclusion was dare I say perfect and equally beautiful. I 100% recommend this to lovers of the dystopian genre and the enemies-to-lovers trope.
