pickThis is a great series, and I really liked the ending. It was the original ending to the trilogy and I‘m wondering if Rebel is worth reading or not! Not sure if I‘ll pick it up but I‘m so glad I found Marie Lu. Taking recs if anyone has read any of her other books, what should I read next?
Thanksgiving read! I hope everyone has a great day with their families and eats lots of food!! ❤️🧡💛 Happy Thanksgiving!

Champion by Marie Lu
pickIf I'd known that this was where this trilogy was headed, I might not have put off the third book for so long. It was fast-paced, interesting, and emotional in ways that I didn't expect. June and Day's choices are difficult, but they've grown into characters that handle those choices gracefully. Despite the fact that the ending made me ask a lot of questions, I found it satisfying and enjoyed it far more than the previous two.
pickI love how Eden did a grand total of like 3 things the entire series and I still wound up being like “🥺Eden My Beloved🥺”
I'm behind a few reviews, but here's my #MarchWrapUp! I liked them all too, so yay!
pickChampion, has simply got to be my favourite book in the series. The characters who I have formed a bond with, seem to come out of their original labels and turn into something more. Day, who through out the book fights for his life, I will always feel connected to, because even though he‘s a character, makes me see the world in a different way. The grief in this book hits me like a bus, but I will forever be thankful, for just picking it up.
pickMarie Lu could not have ended June and Day‘s story any better. Heartbreakingly beautiful ending. This might be my favorite of the trilogy. If you like YA dystopia, this is a solid series to get into.

pickA fitting end to a trilogy that was ahead of its time (plagues? A warring America? Sounds familiar). June & Day‘s relationship finally feels earned and mature to me — and the ending is realistic (for YA at least). My only complaint would be the stakes were so high and were resolved rather quickly. But overall, a great quick read series.
Again, #DoubleSpin first. 😂🤷🏻♀️
pickThis was probably the best of the whole series. It started with action and suspense and ended pretty much the same way. It was really good. I know there is a fourth book but I like this third book so much I am not@motivated to read the fourth book. It feels unnecessary because this ending is so final. The ending was absolutely beautiful! 🙂

pick🎧 I liked this installment of the Legend series! I‘m wait listed for Rebel now. I think I like this one more than the last. I loved the description of Antarctica, it made me want to live there. If you liked the other books you‘ll like this one too! Recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3
pickSolid finish. I had problems with the ending, but that's on me. Fun trilogy.
Reading a little of the last book in this trilogy on my phone, in the rain, while I wait on my vegan soul food plate. It smells so good!

pickGUYS OKAY THIS SERIES IS THE MASTER OF PLOT TWISTS AND HEARTBREAKS BUT THIS ONE BLEW THE OTHER TWO OUT OF THE WATER AND THAT IS ALL I NEED TO SAY. Except that I though this was a trilogy and the ending was hard to read but there‘s going to be a fourth book so IT‘S ALL OKAY!!
Who will be the Champion?? Lol I couldn‘t help myself.
pickTotal investment in the characters by book 3. I adored the ending. Absolutely beautiful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickMan did I ugly cry at the end of this trilogy (idk why I blubber over YA!). I wish I had known it would end this way so I could brace myself but it happened haha it was an epic ending that I feel didn't quite close because I want to know more after such a tragedy... Boy. I haven't felt so hooked by a series in a long time. #legendtrilogy #champion #dayandjune
"I can feel his presence here in every stone he has touched, every person he has lifted up, every street and alley and city that he has changed in the few years of his life, because he is the Republic, he is our light, and I love you, I love you, until the day we meet again I will hold you in my heart and protect you there, grieving what we never had, cherishing what we did. I wish you were here. I love you, always."#champion #legendtrilogy
These are my stats for the week (brought to you by #beanstack), and it's only Thursday! 😍 I've almost knocked out three books!

This YA breaks my dang fragile heart. It's so cheesy, but it's so cute too ? #champion #legendtrilogy

so-so2,5
This book was not bad. But it was very (too much) unrealistic [teenagers must handle the warfare and save the day] and too long [it just felt like it was dragging on and on as if it would never end]. There were illogical things, lame phrases, poor metaphors...
pickWhile aspects of this felt a bit predictable, overall I liked that Day and June's story wasn't completely resolved. There was room at the end for you to imagine what happens, which is one of my favorite kinds of endings for a series. The series overall definitely didn't disappoint.
4/5 stars

I'm about halfway through this book, and I'm dying to know how it ends. Hopefully I can finish it today!
pickJust finished this series some time ago. It was fantastic.
Have you read it? Or is it on your TBR list?

These were the books that popped into my head... Maybe not saving the world as such, but certainly challenging the system to make the world a better place!
so-soThis series was just so predictable. I did love the ending though.
so-soI guess I waited too long to get around to finishing the trilogy. I don't remember caring about these characters. 🤷🏻♀️
But the flowering shrub outside my apartment looks great!

pickJust finished the third book in Marie Lu's Legend trilogy, Champion. I loved this whole series and Champion was a really fitting climax with a beautiful ending.
pickWhat an ending! I admit there were tears. There was a real possibility of this series being more predictable than it ended up. The author took the story in directions that I didn't expect. An enjoyable read for the start of my summer break!
pickA very satisfying ending to the Legend series. I see why my students love it so much!
