Prodigy by Marie Lu

Prodigy (Legend Trilogy, #2)

by Marie Lu

Featured on Entertainment Weekly's MUST-LIST!

The highly anticipated second book in Marie Lu's New York Times bestseller, LEGEND—perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!


June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long. 

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

Better than the first one, but I don't think it deserves 4 stars, and since I don't believe in half points 3 stars it is!
Maybe it's because I've listened to the audiobook, but at first I felt kinda detached.
The beginning was a little slow, but I really like the second part of this book, especially the ending. The action is great, the plot is entertaining and the characters were developed nicely.
I still don't like Day, tho.
Anden is my new favorite character. I want HIS pov!
