Description

The explosive finale to Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!

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 once again. 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 he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

Doesn’t have as much impact as The Hunger Games or Maze Runner, but I still hope they make a movie of it

such an emotional rollercoaster if you’ve already read the other two books you have to read this one, the ending isn’t perfect but it is satisfying and well written
Great

I loved this book! I love the whole series! I always get hooked in and I can not wait to read Rebel! I am cozying in and getting ready to read it right now! This book makes me laugh, cry, and rips my heart into a million pieces. I even need a best friend to talk to after I am done reading each book! I can not stop reading! Thank you Marie Lu for making this great series! It is my favorite! 😃
Truly Inspirational

Get out a blanket, a drink and your reading glasses and find a comfy spot to sit because you won’t be going anywhere until you finish this book. Books 1 and 2 were excellent. The third brings together every element of this story, love, grief, politics, war, tragedy, family, and who your true enemy is and winds it into a mind-boggling assortment of relevance and insanity at once. Opening it at first you might assume that it’s simply tying up all the loose ends of the first two books. You’d be sorely mistaken and will soon find out that this book (as with the others) will keep you guessing until the last page with an ending you wouldn’t soon see coming. This series kept me up for forty-eight hours straight but it was the last book that had me gasping in fear, crying in grief and sighing in satisfaction and hope. To use a critic cliche, a MUST READ of the literary world. You don’t know a good book until you’ve read the Legend series.
This wonderful!
