Champion

Champion by Marie Lu, 369 pages


This appears to be the third book in the Legends trilogy and I felt like it wrapped up pretty well.  June is one of the three Princeps-Elect, meaning she is being groomed to possibly be the head of the Senate.  Day has become the hero of the people and is occupied with caring for his younger brother, Eden.  Busy with their individual lives, Day and June haven’t spoken in several months.  However, a crisis looms once more.  Just as peace negotiations between the Republic and the Colonies begin to look hopeful, a plague breaks out in the Colonies.  Because they believe it is from an old Republic weapon (and they are probably right) they are demanding a cure before they will consider a peace treaty.  The Republic doesn’t have a cure, but with further testing on Eden, who they think is patient zero for this illness, they may be able to create one.  Day, of course, is not willing to risk his brother, now that he has him back.  The situation appears to be at an impasse, but things are not always what they seem.  Although the book is tied up a little too neatly, it’s still a fun read and teen fantasy/dystopia fans will probably enjoy the story.
