Champion by Marie Lu
5.0
Legend had me torn in half. From Day to June, and how seperate yet close they were, the ending pulled me together. The ending left me satisfied, enough so that I went 5 months without reading Prodigy.
Prodigy dug me out from the inside. While Legend killed me, it was a more mental pain. To have that dramatic irony with Day and June was wrecking. But the agony I felt wasn't anything compared to Prodigy where the distance between Day and June hurt me far more. This time, in my heart.
I've felt pain in my heart from books before, it is hard to achieve, but attainable. But it's ending in no way satisfied nor healed my issues.
Then I read Champion. This book took ever piece of me and flattened it, decimated it, and made me feel in a way only the best books do. It made me feel like I've only felt a few times when I've read a book, and it was extraordinary. It held me captivated to the last page, and the ending left me more satisfied than ever before yet craving for more. Not the craving with an unfinished question, but the craving one has when they want to know where their imagination will take them next with this story.
After reading this and Prodigy(which I read altogether in about 26 hours), I can now get some sleep. Because it is 2:20 am. Only a good book can drive you to give up your sleep. Only a great book like this made me think that if an apocalypse happened while I was reading it, I would finish the book, consequences be damned.
I honestly cannot wait to read Marie Lu's other series, as well as any others she writes.
And I cannot wait to see where my imagination takes me with this beautifully crafted ending.
So read it. Because if you don't, I will pity you with all of my being, because you will never have known such a beautiful story. And no, I'm not being dramatic in the least bit.
Thanks for writing this Marie Lu.
