He is a Legend. She is a Prodigy. Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps-Elect, while Day has been assigned a high-level military position.
But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them: just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything.
With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

When I read a really good book, I can't seem to put it down and can easily finish it within a day or two if I want to. Which is exactly what I did with the first two books of this trilogy. Now, this final book? This final book was so good that I found myself putting off finishing the last 25% of the book because I wasn't ready to be done with the characters and their world.
As sad as I am to be done with this series, Marie Lu made it so worth it to finish. I have never been so emotionally invested and satisfied with the ending of a story. I kept bracing myself for the worst and thinking I had things figured out, only to be whipped over to a new possibility that I hadn't thought of.
Devastating, exciting, joyous– these characters and their stories will stick with me for a while.
I scream for everything that has gone wrong. I scream for everything broken in our lives
Legend is definitely one of my favorite series. I just love Marie Lu's writing style. Love it.
But this final book was much too hopeless and incomplete. Everything was wrapped up too quickly. I barely got into the atmosphere of the book before it was over. And that open ending.... I was like: “No, no, no, not this again (thinking of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins)! I need a happy ending. June and Day deserve a happy ending!”
I enjoyed this as a part of the trilogy, but I don't think it delivered enough closure, not for me, at least.
