For me, Legend is one of those rare series where each book is better than the last. The world grows bigger and more complex. The characters feel increasingly more realized. The stakes are exponentially higher. By the time I picked up Champion, I was completely on edge. No one felt safe. Even up until the final pages, I was trying to predict how things would unfold. Marie's storytelling has always been imaginative and action-packed, and while Day's and June's story is not resolved without costs, it is still an immensely satisfying read. What a powerful, bittersweet, moving end to a wonderful trilogy. If you're not reading these books, you should be. (A suggestion: have tissues handy.)
