Champion (Legend)

Great books

As a product, this is an amazing deal for three HARDCOVER books. As a series, it becomes a lot less interesting after the first book like a lot of dystopian series in my opinion.

This series is held very dearly in my heart. If you love the Divergent series and The Hunger Games series, then the Legend Trilogy would be a perfect fit. It is 10x better than all the popular series today. They just happened to have a streak of luck to get as famous as they are. If you read the Divergent and Hunger Games series, like myself, you will notice that the story slowly starts to go downhill as the series continue. The third books are always the most unloved ones. However, Marie Lu just keeps getting better and better. I could not put any of the books down and she did not disappoint throughout the series. If you go on Google and check the ratings of her books, you will notice the ratings continuously goes up. She created a beautiful story packed with actions, adventure, mystery, romance, everything a good book has to offer. I HIGHLY recommend this series to everyone. Thank me later. Plus it is coming out with a movie soon so might as well jump on the bandwagon now! The books are descriptive and readers get more of a sense into the character's mind than any movie can display.

I fell in love with the characters and found myself consistently wondering how I would fit in to the world Marie Lu created. Definitely recommend this series for fans of Hunger Games, Divergent, or Maze Runner.

This review is hard for me, so I will break it down.Content of the books: 5 stars - excellent.Physical quality of the books - 3 stars.First let me hit on the physical quality of the books - the only reason this review isn't a solid 5 stars. The first and third books are made well, with white, even pages and beautiful dust jackets with a matte finish covering a glossy inside. The second book, however, is where my issue lies. I am not for sure if this issue is consistent of all the sets being a sold or if mine was a fluke, but the second book consists of yellower, cheaper pages cut in some sort of ridiculous jagged angle. I could have dealt with all three books this way, but it bothers me that just the second one was like this.Now for the actual books themselves: they are incredible. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a trilogy, a dystopian series, or just a good book to become immersed in. It might say Young Adult in the category.ii am almost 28 - far from being a young adult myself.The story is told from a split perspective of the two main characters. At first I disliked this, as this is usually not my favorite type of format. However, this set up was nicely executed, both in writing and the format of the pages. Each character has his/her own font type and font color, as well as a heading at the top of ever right page to remind you whose perspective you are reading. I have never witnessed it so beautifully executed quite like this in the past.The story is incredible and I breezed through the series in three days (I did have to work and sleep). I was captivated wholeheartedly by this series and wanted to keep reading despite hunger, obligations, and a need for sleep.The writing is beautiful and easily captivates the audience. The level of detail is excellent enough that one knows exactly what everything looks like, while not being overwhelming in a Wuthering Heights/Romanticism kind of way.These books are beautifully written and incredible. If the jagged pages is an issue, I won suggest purchasing the books separately (but then you won't receive the free bonus) or take your chances that mine was a fluke. Either way, this series is worth your time.

I read all three of these books in less than 6 days, from the very beginning of legend you're on the edge of your seat and you're there till the very last sentence of Champion. The books are split up in two views. Days and Junes, For example it goes Chapter Day. Chapter June, Chapter Day. Chapter June and so one. Which gives you a good perspective of both characters. Legend introduces you to all the characters and paints a great picture for each one, you get to know the republic and the kind of world these characters live in. You live in that world while you're reading these books, so many plot twists and details, even devastation. A lot of the emotions can hit home for a lot of people which creates for an amazing story. The ending seems horrible and saddening but it's all in good time for the characters. You come to love every single character in these books and it breaks your heart when anything bad happens to them. They become family and you just want them to succeed in everything. These books are great for anyone who loves future set dystopian books with a lot of action and some romance en-tied.

This series was a quick read. It keeps you interested and wanting more. You will fall in love with Day and June. You will laugh, cry, get angry. It was a little bit of a hard end for me. I wanted more. All in all it was a great series especially if you liked the hunger games.

If you like the dystopian books “The Hunger Games”, “The Darkest Minds”, and “Divergent”,this is the series for you. This series is action-packed and well written. After reading this book Marie Lu became my all time favorite author. The way every word in the book stands out, OMG I love it. I am re-reading this series for the next book coming out on October 1, called REBEL. I can’t wait. I don’t want to spoil the book for you so, this is the end of the review. Just remember that I told you to read this book when you get done reading and smile. (But the books ending didn’t really sit well with me so when the next book all of the lingering questions will be solved hopefully) Have a nice Day/Night

My son who never reads, had to do the first book for English class. He enjoyed it so much, he wanted the set. When a book can grab the interest of a teenage boy and make him interested in reading, that's a good book in my opinion.

De las mejores distopías que he leído, sin duda es una trilogía básica para todo el que guste de este género

My daughter wanted this book for so long long and the quality was awful I was very upset to see it was second hand and the price was much more than if it was bought as singles I wasn’t aware it was second hand as I would not have purchased them

The books are interesting, although the ending could be better (not bad now)

Esta trilogía es una de mis favoritas, y pensé qué era buena idea tener el boxset para poder leer los libros en inglés. La edición de cada uno es preciosa, además los capítulos de Day están narrados de un color diferente en cada libro. Comprando este producto viene incluido Life Before Legend, una precuela que no se vende en físico.Que decir de estos libros, creo que son increíbles y muy recomendables.
