I loved the Legend series, but it took me so long to get over the ending of Champion that part of me isn't sure I SHOULD read this 4th book (I literally cried when I found out there was a 4th book yesterday, and I read Legend 6 years ago). Thoughts??! Anyone else feel this way?!

E. Jamieson I'm always hesitant to read spin-offs or later editions to already-finished series, but this one is worth it! There's plenty of action and romance. It focuses equally on Daniel and Eden (sadly no June POV), and is set in Antarctica with a brief trip back to the Republic. It provides a beautiful if somewhat rushed conclusion to Champion. I never realized how open-ended Champion really is until I read this one.
starrynight17 yeah! for me, i was kind of past this series, i thought it ended decently and didn't need anything else to it. and with rebel coming out so long after the series ended, i almost feel as if this 4th book did not actually happen and is just like a fanfiction or something.

overall it's just a book that came way too late and adds on to a story that had a satisfying ending.

Don't get me wrong though, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LEGEND TRILOGY!! <3
Gillian The book is amazing! Yes, it leaves out June's POV, but I like getting to learn more about Daniel and Eden as brothers. It's really good
caitlin Ok wait I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way, I'm so torn whether I should read it or not... I liked Champion's ending and really don't need anything else..
Kenzie Yeah I just re-read the entire series again while waiting for it to come out
Cassandra I was really excited when I heard there was a 4th book too, but when I read it, I was kind of disappointed. In my opinion, it really doesn't live up to the rest of the series, especially as a conclusion. I honestly liked the open-endedness of Champion, because it gave you the chance to sorta fill in the gaps yourself and give the characters their own happy ending. If you really liked the Legend series, I think it's up to you if you are willing to take the risk.
Andrew SAME!! i read the first 3 a while ago and just now found out this book
Madeline Robinette I was extremely disappointed with this book and wish I hadn't read it. It felt to me more like a recap of the trilogy with very little action and it did not move the story arc forward in a meaningful way.
