There was something beautiful in the ending of the Champion, but it was still so sad and not definitive enough for me. Rebel gave me closure. I hope you get to it at some point.

The second was good, but the friends were separated most of the book, and it was their friendship I enjoyed so much in the book 1.

Was not expecting to see those fantasy covers, lol. You've reminded me that I started the Air Awakens series ages ago, loved the first book and then forgot to continue.
