Marie Lu - Life before Legend (Legenda #0,5)






Find out more about June and Day in this never-before-seen glimpse into their daily lives before they met in Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND series. As twelve-year-olds struggling to survive in two very different worlds within the Republic’s stronghold, June was starting her first day of school at Drake University as the youngest cadet ever admitted, and Day was fighting for food on the streets of the Lake sector. LIFE BEFORE LEGEND contains two original stories written by Marie Lu that give readers a sneak peek into the lives of their favorite characters in a thrilling new context.





Borzasztóan szerettem a Legenda-trilógiát, és ez a könyv akkora nosztalgiát ébresztett bennem, hogy nagyon érik egy újraolvasás. Hiába volt rövidke ez a két történet, mégis nagyon tetszett.

Day novellája az első csókjáról szólt, illetve a Legenda eseményeit megelőző életéről. Külön tetszett, mikor ismeretlenül is elmondta a véleményét June-ról.

June novellája az egyetemen töltött első napján játszódott. Bevallom, ezen a részen kicsit elpityeredtem, mert Metias és June kapcsolatáról szólt főként.

"Keep at it, Junebug – someday, you'll shake the Republic to its very core. You'll be absolutely unforgettable. I know it."

"„You'll find your tribe,” he says. „We all do. Someday, someone out there will see you for the girl you really are. Someday, you'll find someone who understands you.”"

"„You were out to steal food from our shipment. If you'd succeeded, my father would have to explain to Republic port authorities why he didn't meet quota. You think we like paying extra fines? Or getting arrested?” 
„Well, I'm sorry. You think I like going hungry?”"

"TWELVE-YEAR-OLD TRIAL PRODIGY JUNE IPARIS BECOMES YOUNGEST STUDENT EVER ADMITTED TO DRAKE UNIVERSITY, TO BE OFICIALLY INDUCTED NEXT WEEK. 
„Ugh,” I snort in disgust. No doubt that girl's some goddy rich trot living the sweet life father island, in one of LA's upper-class sectors. Who cares what she scored on her Trial? The whole test is rigged in favor of the wealthy kids, anyway, and she's probably just someone with average smarts who bought her high score."

★★★★★★★★★★ (10/10)
