From the cover:
"He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps-Elect, while Day has been assigned a high-level military position.
But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them: just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything.
With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion."
Talk about a roller coaster conclusion to this trilogy. The number of times that I yelled, "what the fuck?!" while in my car listening to this was ridiculous. Good god, what an end for this trilogy. I think by now I've made pretty clear that the action in these books is nonstop and awesome...still true. What's more, the ending was, dare I say it...perfect? The closer I got to the last few chapters, the more worried I got that it was going to wrap up in an overly simple way, something either crazy sad and predictable or too happy-ending predictably. But the ending......I didn't see it coming, and I loved everything about it. Beautiful end for an incredible trilogy.
