![]() ![]() ![]() Her tough veneer has cracked and she’s finally become relatable and likeable. June, on the other hand, has undergone a much more positive character arc. He’s reactive as opposed to active, rendering him a danger to himself, June, Tess and everyone else around him. Day’s blinded by the desire for revenge, motivated by his pain and loss and this makes him much more vulnerable and unpredictable. I think a lot of readers may agree that where we sympathized so much more with Day in Legend, our hearts belong to June in Prodigy. The events in book #1 have forever altered them. Make no mistake these are not the same Day and June that we met in Legend. Uncertainty plagues Day and June throughout the story, especially when it comes to their relationship. And while I missed the cat and mouse game that fueled much of the first book, there’s no shortage of other kinds of tension here. While I do feel that Prodigy lacked a bit of the tension that made Legend such an irresistible read, it’s still one of the best dystopias I’ve picked up recently. If Legend could restore my faith in dystopia, Prodigy could beat sequel suck-and guess what? It totally did. Marie Lu surpassed my dystopia-obsessed expectations with Legend and I wondered if she could do it again with the sequel. Many potentially great book series fall victim to it so I definitely had my concerns when reading Prodigy. For book lovers this is a very real and very terrible thing. ![]()
