| A Legend Novel Book 4 |
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 . . .

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Now THAT is how you return to a series that was completed, to tell one more story after an ending that was emotional and in a way a cliffhanger since you desperately wanted just a few more pages to get a satisfying happy ending. Rebel was exactly what I needed to read after finishing Champion way back when. Rebel was just so satisfying. When Champion ended I was a heartbroken. Even with that ending that was supposed to leave you hopeful for the future of characters you've come to love. Re-visiting the world of Legend and its amazing characters was great. We got the pleasure of seeing characters we love, while exploring new ones. We got Eden's point of view, someone who had a bigger impact on the original trilogy than you may think, and here he was grown up and facing his own challenges. We revisited Daniel's point of view and how he has changed and how he is finding his way back to June. Rebel kept you on your toes with a new conflict that challenged our characters but gave you a taste of the previous books as well. To sum it up, like I said earlier, it was just a satisfying read. And I loved every moment of it. And with all good books you wish for more and I would love more from this world, but this was a solid closing to a great series. And a much needed one at that. Great, great book. For fans of Legend, Prodigy, and Champion, Rebel does not disappoint!
