Rebel by Marie Lu (Legend book 4)

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first three books in this series, Stop! I don’t want to ruin one of my favorite stories for you.

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

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.

Eden Wing has been living in his brother’s shadow for years. Even though he’s a top student at his academy in Ross City, Antarctica, and a brilliant inventor, most people 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 Day is no longer the same young man who was once a national hero. These days he’d rather hide out from the world and leave his past behind. All that matters to him now is keeping Eden safe―even if that also means giving up June, the great love of Daniel’s life.

As the two brothers struggle to accept who they’ve each become since their time in the Republic, a new danger creeps into the distance that’s grown between them. 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 . . .” - taken from Goodreads.com

I loved the first three books in the Legend series even though Champion broke my heart. That book still has the best ending I think I will ever read. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to get my hands on this unexpected gift of a fourth book that takes place roughly one month after the epilogue from Champion.

Without going into too much detail, this book centers around the Wing brothers and their lives in Ross City. Eden is now a young man who is seeing the injustice around him and Daniel who no longer knows how to relate to his brother. And yes, June does play an integral role in the story. Once again, Marie Lu spends a fantastic ending for fans.
