Rating: 5/5

I scream for everything that has gone wrong. I scream for everything broken in our lives.

Well, this was extremely satisying yet made me an emotional wreck as this wraps up the series and while I didn’t want it to end, I was very satisfied with how it played out. I was a little worried going into that it wouldn’t live up to the expectations I had and boy did it deliver.

Champion follows June and Day as they have not only sacrificed so much for each other but for their people. The time for peace is short lived as they are thrown into a new conflict, one that could test the bond that they have for each other. This heart-pounding and suspenseful last installment of the Legend series will reach a stunning conclusion.

I don’t know Marie Lu does but she’s such an amazing writer especially when it comes to plots as I have always enjoyed the plot of her books regardless of everything else. Champion was thrilling, gut-wreching, beautiful, and filled with so much action that I literally couldn’t put the book down and I have her to thank for that. I have really enjoyed following the adventures of June and Day and I do love their relationship as it’s very well written and there has been so much growth between the two throughout the series. That’s part of the reason why I was so emotional while reading this book because there are some beautiful yet heart breaking moments between the two.

I don’t want to go into too much further without spoiling it but this was such a satisfying conclusion to the series and I highly recommend it.

Prodigy (Legend #2)

Rating: 5/5

Love is illogical, love had consequences–I did this to myself, and I should be able to take it.

Ahhhh! Marie Lu is one of my favorite writers and it’s hard to pick a favorite of hers that I love but this one pretty close. I had read Legend awhile back and thoroughly enjoyed it so I was glad that I was finally able to catch up with the series. But there is so much about this book that I loved.

Prodigy is an action packed adventure that leaves you wanting more and I turned the page in excitement and anxiety. The beginning was a little slow but it picks up towards the middle and becomes very fast paced with tons of action, emotions, feelings, and secret being uncovered that change the game. One thing that I love about her writing is that she has well written developed characters that make you feel like you know them personally.

It follows the first book with Day & June trying to save Eden, I don’t want to spoil anything so I’m trying my hardest be selective with what I write for the review. But, the ending did hit me pretty hard and I had to get through Champion which is coming up next for review! Overall, this book was rather enjoyable and Marie Lu is such a fantastic story teller to I high recommend checking out any of her books.
