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?

Marie Lu, why have your forsaken me? But seriously, Lu made me shed real tears. More than once! This book is as gripping and exciting as its predecessor, but Marie Lu definitely cranked up the sad factor with this one. Aside from sadness and tears, we also got a lot of answers in this book. We find out a lot more about the Patriots, the Republic, and the Colonies. Nothing is what it seems. Loved it all (except for the really sad parts)
