Book 6: Prodigy

It always seems to take forever when you are waiting for the publication of the next book in a series. I picked up Legend by Marie Lu on a whim as her book was on a table for "Teens Who Enjoyed The Hunger Games". The jacket sounded interesting and I took a chance. After reading Legend, I have had to wait for Prodigy to be published. Now that I have read Prodigy, I will be eagerly waiting Lu's next book in the series. Like all good series books, just when you think things are wrapping up in a sort of neat way, the author throws a loop at you and you are left with an unresolved ending. Although frustrating to a reader, Lu has perfected this unresolved ending!

Prodigy picks up where Legend left off. June and Day have escaped Day's execution and have ended up in Vegas. They seek the protection of the Patriots (a group of rebels). A plot is formed to bring down the new Electorate that involves Day's and June's implicit involvement.

There are many twists in this book that may or may not see coming. At times, it is difficult to see where the "truth" lies.

I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel and am looking forward to reading the next chapter in the lives of June and Day, the Republic and the Colonies!
