In Prodigy they have to live with the consequences of their actions in Legend. Despite being heroes to many people, they are far from perfect. Both June and Day are complex and interesting protagonists. I loved the characters in Legend and that didn't change in Prodigy. All this combined to create a captivating and action-packed read. Marie Lu took the established world and characters, made the stakes higher and then threw in that political intrigue I was missing in Legend. Prodigy is what Mockingjay should have been, what Insurgent could have been, and what The Scorch Trials would have been. Prodigy was such a great sequel to a dystopia series. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games? June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor.ĭesperate for help, they turn to the Patriots - a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic.



Synopsis: Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives.ĭay is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him.
