“It hurts every day, the absence of someone who was once there.”

Yeah... I love this series. The characters have changed and grown, and they're different because their experiences have made them different. Yet, they are still the same characters that I know and love. I view this story as something that I just want to get lost in, a world that I want to stay in, each book as good as the last: a continuous, flowing narrative that spans over years. I can't believe I'm almost done with this series.

Champion is a perfect ending to a thrilling and heartbreaking triology. 
We see June Iparis grow and truly find herself.

Especially when it comes to what she wants to do with her life, as she gives up the role of Princeps-Elect.

I also loved how fleshed-out the relationship between Day and Eden was, and to see Day's inner conflict, as he tries to balance trying to protect his brother and letting him slowly grow, was very interesting. 
Overall, the theme of family was very concentrated in this final epilogue, along with the sacrifices we have to make, and was an amazing conclusion to a brilliant dystopia triology.
