Champion (Legend #3)
by Marie Lu
Coming November 5, 2013
Putnam Juvenile
Summary:
The explosive finale to Marie Lu’s New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!
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 once again. 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 he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.

Why I want it:
I've really enjoyed this series so far, and for me, I think it gets better with every installment. Her twists are so twisty that I never quite know what to expect. The end of Prodigy took my breath away. CLIFFIE! I need resolution, dangit!
Why I think you should want it:
Marie Lu is a spectacular writer.
She has captured so much in only two books: action, romance,
friendship, family, loss, betrayal... And it's all set in a crazy world
that is falling apart in so many ways. For a series that came out at the height of the dystopian wave, Legend has done really well to set itself apart. I definitely recommend it!
I am eagerly waiting for Champion as well! great pick!

Interesting choice indeed. Haven't read the Legend trilogy (or Hunger Games... or Divergent...) but I like that the threat in this one is a biological one and not a people one.
