Legacy is a sprawling science-fantasy epic that follows the lives of several young warriors on the world of Utopia, a place where ancient magic coexists with advanced technology. The central focus is on Dark Angelus Everlast (Angel), a mysterious, battle-hardened youth with a troubled past, and his close-knit group of friends: the charming troublemaker Cogeta, the reserved intellectual Cory, the kind-hearted Leen, and several other richly drawn characters. The story begins with a celebratory dance at Utopia University but soon spirals into tournaments, political tensions, emotional entanglements, and spiritual conflicts that challenge the characters’ bonds and ideals. It’s a coming-of-age story wrapped in fantasy armor, soaked in emotional vulnerability, and set against a backdrop of war, prophecy, and legacy.

Reading this book felt like being dropped into the middle of someone’s beloved dream world. It’s dense, heartfelt, and often emotionally raw. The writing switches between tender introspection and explosive confrontation. There are scenes that resonated with me, especially those that explored Cory’s aching loneliness and longing, Angel’s gruff tenderness, and Leen’s quiet strength. The dialogue often brims with tension or affection. I appreciated how the author didn’t shy away from showing emotional messiness. There were parts where the writing veered into melodrama, but those moments made it feel more real, like watching teenagers deal with the weight of growing up while the fate of the world quietly looms.

Stylistically, the book wears its heart on its sleeve. Sometimes that means some scenes are long or narrations dive deeply into characters’ internal monologues. It felt like reading something intensely personal, like the author poured everything into these characters, their triumphs, their pain, and their awkwardness. The world-building was immersive, if sometimes overwhelming. The fusion of Norse myth, magical lore, and sci-fi tech made for a wild ride. But the real star was the character work. The friendships, rivalries, and quiet betrayals were where this book truly shined. It made me care deeply about these fictional kids and their fates.

Legacy left me feeling nostalgic, a bit heartbroken, and hopeful. It’s a book for anyone who loves character-driven fantasy with heavy emotional undercurrents. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy stories like Final Fantasy, RWBY, or My Hero Academia. Tales where bonds between characters matter more than the battles themselves. If you’ve ever sat alone at a dance, staring at someone you loved from afar, this book might hit you harder than you expect.
