FINALLY I AM FINISHED WITH THIS SERIES!!!! I guess this was fine, a bit different from the others obviously since 1) there was a big gap between the og trio and this one and 2) no June POV unfortunately. Now, do I think that there was an attempt at like criticizing capitalism through the Level system? Well, yeah, but I didn’t like how Dominic was villainized. Like I knew it was coming, but I don’t see how it made sense for him to want to recreate the Level system from the top. Anyways. There was also a bit of too much romance to my liking. I mean, okay, sure we gotta have the Daniel and June second chance romantic sub plot. But why add Eden and Pressa to the mix? Why not have them be just friends?

"Because sometimes, broken pieces find a way to make a new whole."

Aaaaah I am going to miss this series so much. This book felt like it tried to do a lot at once, but ultimately it was about Eden and Daniel figuring out how to rebuild their relationship and I loved it (because brotherly relationships are some of my favorite relationships atp). I initially read 100 pages and stayed up until 2 AM and then never had the time to finish it until now. But I can't believe I finished this series!!

Rebel is an absolutely amazing final installment in the Legend series. It provides a glimpse into Daniel and Eden's lives ten years later, as they try to reconnect with their true selves outside of the Republic of America. As Eden gets an intriguing offer from a dangerous man, he finds himself drifting farther away from the safety and comfort of the relationship he used to have with Daniel. The brothers struggle to gain back the trust they once had with each other, while simultaneously dealing with Antarctica's most infamous criminal. And of course, it wouldn't be a Legend story without June. Daniel confronts his complicated feelings for her as she makes a reappearance in his life after all these years, while Eden faces some romantic tension of his own with his best friend and partner in crime, Pressa. Rebel very satisfyingly wraps up the story told in the Legend trilogy, and also introduces some exciting new plot points. 100% recommend for anyone who loves Legend.
