Review : Champion by Marie Lu

Ratings:5 of 5 stars

It's all too much for me to process. Too . Damn . Freaking . Much . This is by far and easily the most
emotional YA Dystopian book I've ever read, hell, it's even more emotional than any cry-fest and heartwrenching
contemporary novels I know. Marie Lu breaks the record with every book she writes, it's crazy.

This series has come a long, long way from where it started and has managed to shatter boundaries and exceed expectations.
This final book is brimming with action and suspense. The pacing doesn't slow down for a second and it suits the
high-stakes plot. The previous book left us with some shocking information about Day that will surely be at the
forefront of most readers' minds when picking up this conclusion - it doesn't disappoint. It's true that there were
only a limited number of ways this could end but with Lu it doesn't seem to matter because she has your mind constantly
running through the options and wondering where she'll take you next. The sense of constant uncertainty instilled in my
brain throughout this book was terrifying and intoxicating. It's been a while since I read a book so completely
unputdownable.The last two or three chapters of this book literally had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't look away. It takes a skilled writer to have you questioning what will happen right up until the last page. And it takes an even more skilled writer to bring tears to my eyes.  Overall, Champion is a bittersweet yet an outstanding way to end and say goodbye to this series. I hate farewells, but...

Goodbye, our Prodigy June Iparis.

Goodbye, our Legend Day Altan Wing.

Goodbye, our Champions.
