Writing alone, Asher and Mackler are both very talented authors. Together they are like Girl Scout cookies (Tagalongs!) and ice cream: a wonderful, delicious pair!

The market is currently flooded with dystopian lit, which is both a blessing and a curse. Marie Lu's impressive debut falls solidly in the "blessing" category. Told in alternating points of view, between the girl genius who's the nation's pride and a teenage criminal mastermind on the run, "Legend" keeps reader's guessing until the very end. Guys and girls alike will lap up this new series!
