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?

Goddy heavens, Marie Lu, you just didn't go down that road? Honestly, that revelation at the end is just so over-the-top. Why don't you just kill the boy and be done with it, Author? You killed his mother, his brother, so why not just go all the way, yeah? And know what, I wouldn't be surprised if you're going to reveal in the third book that June and Day are long lost siblings.

Dear heavens, how makjang can you get?
