Rebel by Marie Lu

5.0

Coming late into this fandom, the whole fourth-book-even-though-the-third-one-was-supposed-to-be-the last thing didn't bother me, since I went straight from finishing Champion to starting Rebel. The chapters concerning Eden were, admittedly, a bit boring, though it was interesting to see him grow from being Daniel's innocent little brother to an independent thinker who yearns to be recognized by himself. However, I loved the chapters that Day (Daniel) narrated. For a character who is now 27 and suffered memory loss, I feel that it is very realistic, and his encounters with June gave me closure regarding their relationship.
