review 1: Marie Lu, why does it at whatever point I complete a book of yours, I generally appear to wind up having a puffy eyes and a nose as red as Ruddolf the red nose reindeer? Truly, I just finish this book and all I want to do is scream, cry, and laugh at the same time. I give this book a five star rating, in view of how June and Day appeared to have the most difficult and action packed relationship.I respect June from the begin, since the day she showed how patriotic she can be and how brave and astute she is. June is one of the courageous woman I will always remember as strives for Day. Day is very rebellious and family unwavering. I was captivated of how beguiling and gumptious he is. I adore the way of how caring he is to Tessa and Eden and how mindful and protective he i... mores to June.I very nearly feel my heart stops when the doctor (Damn him) delivered the news of Day's amnesia to June. Furthermore hurled, when I turned to a page that say "10 YEARS LATER" But still I was satisfied of Day for never having another girl in his life and that he still wears June's hand made ring.If you haven't read this book yet, that means you haven't experience real life...Must read!!! review 2: What an excellent ending! This trilogy will not leave you disappointed.Champion picks up shortly after Prodigy left off. June is working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect, a position that puts here right next to Anden almost nonstop which leaves little time for anyone else. Day only wants what is best for her, so he tells her to take the position at the end of Prodigy and now he and his brother are miles away with him working in the military and trying to get his health under control.But a peace treaty keeping the Republic and Colonies on good terms is about to come to an end. A new strain of plague is running rampant through the Colonies and they want a cure from the Republic. If they don’t get it quickly, they will be forced to launch a full out attack against the republic with the aid of other nations. The Republic has the support of no one and is at a loss. Anden is forced to ask June to confront Day and ask him to give more than he will be willing to give. She is the only one that could convince him, but they both know that even that might not be enough to save the Republic.Marie Lu brought about characters that changed, grew and were enjoyable to watch along the way. Throughout the entire series June and Day found new and mysterious ways to entertain and intrigue. The action throughout was enough to keep the pages turning but not so much that the reader feels trampled. This is a YA book and at times the themes get a little intense for young readers, what with Day smoking and the progression of his relationship with June partway through, but it isn’t enough to keep it from this category. Marie Lu did a fine job of showing that these characters have grown up and with that they will be making more grown up choices.The one criticism I have is a lack of consistency throughout the three books. The dual perspective is great. It moves the story and gives extra information we wouldn’t get if it was just told to us from June or Day’s perspective. The problem is I don’t think Lu stayed true to timing. There are times when we get June’s story and then jump to Day and what is happening to him is before what happened to her. This isn’t enough to take away from the story and for some might not be a problem, but it could have been written more cleanly.Overall it is one of the best endings to a trilogy that I have read in a very long time. I felt all story lines were tied up and done so in a way that felt satisfying and refreshing. It was unexpected and the story took a different path than you could ever have imagined, and that made the lives of Day and June feel so very real. less
