Champion

While reading this book I felt like I had a lot to say, but now that I've finished it... I'm honestly at a loss for words. The final chapters of Champion hit me right in the heart, because that's where it all sinks in. How far Day and June have come, how they have matured since they first met, and how much they had to endure for each other. The quick attraction they shared in [b:Legend 9275658 Legend (Legend, #1) Marie Lu https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397663963s/9275658.jpg 14157512] grew complicated in [b:Prodigy 13414446 Prodigy (Legend, #2) Marie Lu https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1336254717s/13414446.jpg 18712554], and it's given even more depth in Champion before finally reaching a bittersweet open end.I really liked the character developments in this series in general, but my favorite part is probably how Marie Lu never sets gender boundaries. The characters are never judged for loving someone of the same gender, men and women are treated equally for the most part, and the last fight between June and Commander Jameson—the women—was so fierce I literally couldn't put the book down.Also, the loving Tess is back. In contrary to how she was in the previous book, Tess is very supportive in Champion. When she talked to Day about how she truly feels, I think it makes her jealousy much more understandable. June and her warm up to each other towards the end, and it makes me so happy to see them being on friendly terms again.tl;dr I still can't remember all the things I wanted to say, but this series is really great and I'm now sad that it's over. ;_____;
