Legend, Prodigy, and Champion are books in the YA Legend series by Marie Lu. Dystopian novels set in the future, these books follow the stories of Day and June, one committed to the Republic and the other working against it.The chapters switch back and forth between perspectives.
Sex: There is a sex scene in the final book. It's not incredibly detailed, but it's there. Day also mentions that he's "fooled around" with other girls before. Several kissing scenes. The biggest cause for concern is in the final book.
Language: Mild to moderate.
Drug/Alcohol Use: There are some instances of drinking. It's not a big part of the story lines, though.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: The books revolve around a war. It's similar in violence and gore to the Hunger Games series. People are infected with viruses, several people die, and there's lots of fighting. What you would expect from a YA dystopian novel, though.
Final Note: I loved these books! It was the first really well written dystopian series since the Hunger Games, in my opinion. I loved how Marie Lu told the stories from both Day and June's perspectives. I was really sad to see this series end!
