Champion

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.

Great books!

Loving this book series and came in great condition

The books were very well packaged in the box and were also shrink wrapped. The books are very well written for a teen or any age. My 17yo son is a fast reader and read them quickly because they were so good. I also think price point was right on for hard back books with a display case.

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.

It's got all the good stuff. I don't wanna say it's similar to The Hunger Games, but if you enjoyed reading that you'll enjoy this. Lots of action, a terrific story line. it grabs you straight away. I'm not a "young adult" I'm far beyond that. I like this genre because there isn't smutty sex scenes all through them or at all. There is one and it's short & tasteful, not overly descriptive. It's the dystopian world story line. Far more war story like than say Hunger Games. Marie Lu is an amazing, young write, this being her first trilogy. I look forward to anything else she writes. I hope it's soon. They came packaged well, free of any damage and on time.

This series is one that I have been wanting to read for a while, having read various reviews praising Lu's writing. Needless to say, I agree with the others, this series is very well written, keeping you enthralled and emotionally attached right up until the very last page of Champion. The star-crossed love story between the nation's military prodigy and the nation's most wanted criminal leaves you desiring to know more. The ending, bittersweet and emotional, tied together the trilogy perfectly, a nice bow on the present. I look forward to reading more books by Lu in the future.

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.

as described

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

The box set is pretty good. Go for it.

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.

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.
