Legend - Marie Lu (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2011)

Eventually I will burn out on the YA dystopia novels. But until then....

This one is set in LA! Well, some sad future version of LA with giant lakes (from flooding) and plagues and such. And of course this is the Republic of America, fighting against the Patriots and others to the east who are making claims about how the whole land was once one united country and such.

But anyway, there are people! You've got a whole Romeo & Juliet thing. Death, lies, love, etc! All very exciting, and half of the people have crazy names.

This is pretty much the worst and most snarky sales pitch ever, but I did sincerely enjoy this book. Waiting for the next one.
