REVIEW:
This book was everything I hoped it to be and more. Oh, so perfect. This is the kind of ending every trilogy needs.
While some trilogy endings have disappointed me lately *cough* ALLEGIANT *cough*, CHAMPION totally surpassed my expectations. The ending to June and Day's story was exactly what I felt it needed to be. Not completely sunshine and rainbows, but not insanely tragic either. It was just perfect.
If you haven't started this trilogy yet, I highly recommend you do so now. You will not regret it!
CONTENT: Kissing, two characters have sex, but it isn't very detailed; swearing and violence is pretty much the same as the first two books.
