Very good book for older teens!
Published by Rebecca , 6 months ago
The action, plot, and characters are amazing. Very well written! But there is some very descriptive romance, that I don't think is appropriate for kids younger than 14. If you liked this, read Divergent.
Missing dust cover.

I would not have bought this book if I had known that there was no dust cover. I will probably look for another copy.
Pretty Good, Not Excellent
Published by EdenAnn , 2 years ago
It was a good story. I think the character development could have been a little better, and the writing. I compare every YA series to The Queen's Thief though, so that's a high bar. I think I will read the next book in the series.
Disappointed
Published by Daria , 2 years ago
I haven’t read the book yet but when I received it there was writing on every page in pencil and marker underlining and going through the words and paragraphs on the sides of the text even thought I ordered acceptable this should have not passed and I can’t even read it. Not happy
Didnt receive a dustcover?
Published by Taylor , 3 years ago
While I'm pleased with having the book, it would have been nice to have received the cover for it so that my set would match.
Favorite Dystopian book!
Published by Kenziturtle , 3 years ago
I've read a lot of dystopian books. Like a lot. And this one is my favorite! Such a good storyline.
It’s been awhile... but this book is the holy grail of all of my books
Published by Mochisan , 3 years ago
I picked up this book at the library so long ago and ended up buying the entire series and Rebel. The ending for all of these books was amazing and masterfully written and Marie will have you crying, shaking, laughing, and grinning like a big stupid idiot by the time you finish the Legend Series. Please please go buy this. Stop reading this review and just go gosh darn buy it

This Is My FAVORITE Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
This book takes you on an adventure of learning where loyalties lie and how they change. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone I can. There is an amazing love story and the uprooting of governments. I would compare this book to Divergent.
So Goodd!!!!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
I can not tell you how much I love this book! I have read a lot of books but this one is most defiantly in the top 2 *cough cough* series. Marie Lu has such a good way with words. This book took me on a never ending road of feels. I would recommend to ANY AND EVERYBODY. I have read this book about a 100 times. The book is about a girl who meets boy (havent we all heard that before) but it has such a good "twist" to it. The girl is in a sort of "army" you could say and the boy, MAN THIS BOY WILL BREAK YOU, is pretty much screwing the "army" over big time. And I could not put this book down! I spent all day reading this book. ITS A MUST READ!!
Class Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
Had to read this book for a college class, when I saw that it was apart of a trilogy I was irritated because only the first book was on the reading list for class which meant if I wanted to know what happened then I would have to find out myself, which I don't have as much time to do. So I hoped I would hate this book, I prayed that maybe the ending would ruin it completely but it didn't, I loved the book. Maybe because it reminded me of the Black CityTrilogy by Elizabeth Richards. Loved it and now I want and need to know what happens next. Hopefully I can find the time!
This book is amazing!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
This book is a mixture of fighting, romance, and sadness. I have read all three books and I loved it! I recommend this book to all my bookworm friends and they love it too! The characters in this book have such rounded and well-put together stories. I highly recommend this book!
