Rebel (Legend Trilogy, #4)

by Marie Lu

*The book you've all been waiting for - the incredible conclusion to the Legend series*

Respect the Legend. Idolize the Prodigy. Celebrate the Champion . . . But never underestimate the Rebel.

Eden Wing may be a top student at his academy in Ross City, Antarctica, but most people still know him only as Daniel Wing's little brother.

A decade ago, Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of
America. But these days, he's all to ready to leave his past behind.

As the two brothers struggle to accept who they've each become, a new danger creeps into the distance that's grown between them, and Eden soon finds himself drawn so far into Ross City's dark side, even his legendary brother can't save him.

At least, not on his own . . .

With unmatched suspense and her signature cinematic storytelling, #1 New York Times-bestselling author Marie Lu plunges readers back into the unforgettable world of Legend for a truly grand finale.

Minus .5 stars— even though she was a major character in this book, I missed June's POV immensely!

I LOVED THIS BOOK OMGGGGGGGG— SHOOKETH

I love how this book fits in seamlessly with the series, when read all at once, rather than reading after waiting YEARS... but as it is Eden's story, it is just as much Day & June's. I loved how the book included the new narrator— Eden, as well as a POV for Day, of course, to include a bunch of the familiar as well.
I DID miss June's POV... but I suppose you can't have it all !

Also... i loved that Antarctica gave off SUCH Warcross vibes it was crazy! I loved it... it was like an Easter egg for Warcross fans. Although it seems like Lu leaned on the Warcross plot quite a lot, that could just be my imagination, as there were such plot consistencies, & a government implementing a similar system.
I wouldn't dwell on it too much though.
This book had no issues shining all on its own.

A beautiful end to a tumultuous, heart-wrenching story.


More RTC (possibly)!

Highly recommend for all of the readers who felt that the trilogy felt too unfinished; that it was cut too short.
Also for new Legend series readers! Definitely don't hesitate to read this fourth installment as well !
You'd be missing out on an incredible novel.
