This was a weird series. I'm glad it found a way to have a semi resolution. I think there were still many flaws and unresolved parts.

This book was much slower than the other 2 in the series. I didn't feel like the atmosphere of the outside world was made real enough, like I kept forgetting there was even a virus spreading. Shelia was a complete brat and I couldn't fathom how Jude could be in love with her. Their romance was completely unbelievable and underdeveloped. HOWEVER, the ending namely the last 2 sentences were FANTASTIC. Completely made the book worth reading.

The first book in the series was definately the best. All the books are great but i think that the books lacked the thrill of the first book. They were definately ggod though. I still got really excited about the two ending scenes, they were great! I definately loved the ending though i love it when authors end stories like that! No i am not talking about the books that stop dead in their tracks and make you run to the nearest book store only to find the sequels not out yet :( I love it when they tell you a little more about WHAT happened after every thing finished a little insight of how the characters lived after the grand finale scene.
Great Job Gemma :)

It was a really nice ending to this trilogy by Gemma Malley.
Anna and Peter were not the main character anymore, but they still played a part, and other characters, all very interesting came forward. I particularly loved Jude.
It was a very good read, I'm not sad it has come to an end, as this ending satisfied me!

The Legacy was most definitely a satisfying end to a trilogy that for me, was thought-provoking and mind-opening. The plot of the story fits well into the trilogy. Logevity drugs, having kept humans immune to death and diseases for so long, seemed to have its effects waning. People are dying in the most horrible and grotesque ways. In a desperate act to keep the truth from coming out, Pincent lies and says that the Underground has poisoned the drugs, sending the entire society into chaos.
I have to say, this was a much more xciting read than the second book, The Resistance. One gets the sense that because the trilogy is at its end, the pace of the story really picks up. Readers see main characters, Anna and Peter, grow and mature from children to adults, resistence fighters here. We get to see more of Jude and Sheila as well, which is a good thing. :)
There are quite a few major twists in this story and truly, by the time you finish this, you'd be wondering why you hadn't read this a lot earlier. :)

Was not as great as the second book, but it had a fast pace that kept the reader interested. But it ended the only way it could have without including a massive war.

Better than the 2nd book in the series. Peter leaves Anna to fight with others against the makers of Longetivity drugs. (His grandfather's business.) Jude works with the Resistance. People are dying because of a mutation of a virus. The drug isn't keeping people alive anymore.
Great ending of the series. - But still set up so the story could be continued.

Great ending. This series got better as it went on in my opinion. I loved how she was able to revert the world back to normal and wipe out all of those who had outlived their stay. I like how the Opt outs couldn't get the virus- justice for them not having taken longevity in the first place.
I LOVED how albert was actually pip. That was a twist I was not expecting- so perfect though.
And lastly, I love how the last chapter was from young and naïve Molly's point of view. It is amazing how she noticed the formula was actually on the ring, when no one else had (or had they just pretended not to notice so that the world could revert back to its natural order?)

On the edge of my seat the whole way through - non-stop action, suspense, & included the perfect ending.
