A Futuristic Civil War

One of my favorite parts of reading books is following a character through a story, and having the writing be powerful enough to make you feel the things that the character is feeling. I can’t remember a book that I’ve read that did this better than Legend, by Marie Lu. It’s really hard to describe a specific example without spoiling major plot points, but the feelings of grief and love and anger that the two main characters, June and Day, feel throughout the story are articulated so well through the writing that you feel those things just as intensely as they do. I’m excited to read the rest of the trilogy.
