Champion

I must say that Champion was a wonderful conclusion to this action packed, romance filled, and political read. This book had much more of a political side than any of the others. I think the way I described it was exactly how each book went individually. The first one was very action packed with all of the hardships that each character had to go through to become who they are. The second book had a lot of romance with June and Day. They even had other side romances that intertwined with Tess and the Elector. Then the third one was full of the hardships that the Republic is going through. This made politics become a big part of Champion.

In Champion, Day and June are pretty much separated for most of the book. After Day found out that he is dying, he decided to let June take the job where she will be by the Elector's side most of the time. This would of made it difficult for them to see each other anyway. Day tries to forget about June and let her do her job.

This novel had much more of a political side. It was nice to see that history does pretty much repeat itself to a small extent in this book. When reading it, it reminded me a lot of the history that has happened in the past with the USA. It may not be as drastic but the same ways that they deal with issues like war have pretty much transferred over. I guess you wouldn't think much since that is how they are still solved today? You use what you know and the tactics that have been used in the past to write about.

As selfish and weird as it sounds, I would of liked more with June and the Elector. I like to see all of my options when it comes to the side romances. I think that both men would of been good for June but of course, Day is the superior one to choose due to emotions.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I devoured it in about 2 or 3 hours... making sure to read every detail still and understand everything that was being said. The ending was perfect. I really liked that Marie Lu let us know that June tried to make everything work without Day. She went on with her life for a decade before seeing him again. She tried to find a new love and make that work. She became who she was supposed to be. Therefore, Day and June could be together finally.

I would recommend this series to anyone! It was overall wonderful and covered so many aspects of the real world like poverty, romance, violence, politics, betrayal, death, murder, and more. Even though so much negativity happened during this series, the world was able to find that light and make everything come back together.
