Ratings and reviews

I read the novel Legend when I was still in high school, and then waited a year for Prodigy to come out. I love these books so much, and when I heard about the graphic novel I was anxious to say the least. Marie Lu's story translates to illustrations incredibly well, and due to her ability to describe characters and settings, nothing about this caught me off guard or looked different from what I had expected.

I love the art style. I can't wait for part 2 because that's currently my favorite book in the series. The pacing of the comic was kinda fast.

Saw all the hype for this so i finally gave in and bought the graphic novel. I dont hate it, i just felt like it was really short
