Champion by Marie Lu (Legend, #3)

About

Champion was such a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. This might be one of my new favorite series. The worldbuilding, plot, characters, and everything about it is amazing, and I was pulled into the story the entire time I was reading it.

Besides the swearing throughout the books, the scene to skip, and the minor LGBTQ sideplots, it’s absolutely worth it. This trilogy reminds me a lot of the Renegades series by Marissa Meyer (another favorite!).

Thoughts
