Champion

By Marie Lu

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the explosive finale to the bestselling Legend trilogy, June and Day have finally reunited just in time to deal with a new plague outbreak in the Colonies.

"Delivers on the promises of the genre without ever being predictable."--Publishers Weekly

"Marie Lu's dystopian novel is a 'Legend' in the making."--USA Today on Legend

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.

Customer Reviews

I ordered hardcover specifically and got sent a paperback version instead.

I loved this book since I read it at a younger and I’m collecting the series to finish it off. The dystopian setting and plot of the book overall will leave you on the edge of your seat wondering how the main characters will get themselves out of precarious situations this time.

Damaged

Described as “very good condition” but book arrived with a torn and bent cover and stained. Not happy!

Read This Series!!!

I cried! I cried sooo much!!! This is the third book. The first one is Legend, then Prodigy, and lastly, Champion. It is a dystopian genre with two point of views!! Day and June's Point Of View!! I loved it! I love how it starts and how it ends. You can feel their connection to each other when reading this. I like how they are. In the first book they are 15 years old, but you can see their growth and maturity throughout the three books. You won't regret reading this book. It is really good and my imagination expanded even more. The details!! OMG! I felt like I knew the places they were talking about. It is amazing!!

Good Book

It's a good book I read all 3 and I think it's perfect for teenagers or if you're older. Reminds me a lot of Divergent

I couldn’t quit turning the pages

I have loved this series since I read it the first time. It’s unique and reinvents the end of times and building it back. The book is notably frustrating. The ending especially as you’re always left wanting more. Good news though, there should be the fourth book coming out in October. Marie Lu publishes with the speed of George R. R. Martin.

This book is so good, as the whole trilogy.
