That was the understatement of the year.” This book follows the story of the first book,Legend,with Day and June trying to get into the Patriots to save Eden.They accept them with one condition,to kill the new Elector.They agree to do it,but with time they find out that the Elector is not who they think he is.I don't want to spoil anything but the ending will hit you hard. The characters are well developed,even that I don't think that they can get more development,because they are the smartest,strongest,wisest teens I know.Seriously,sometimes I forget they are 15. 'I chose this.' Day pulls me close enough for our noses to touch. 'You and me? You want to be here, yeah?' There's guilt in his questions. “We're in this together, right?' he whispers.

The beginning was good,a little slow,but good.After the failed Assassination things started to get really exciting.The tunnels,the plane,the balcony were some of the great scenes I truly enjoyed.And then comes the ending with one of the biggest cliffhangers ever.Right in the feels! The Republic's most wanted criminal is just a boy, sitting before me, suddenly vulnerable, laying all his weaknesses out for me to see.” I can see the pain slashed across his face, and the sight tears at me. “He pauses when he finishes undoing the last button, then closes his eyes. Since I first read Legend,I always wanted to know more about the city,and outside it.We are introduced here with the underground world,also the Colonies.I always wandered how the Colonies were like,and I never imagined they would be that developed.They were better than the Republic.Also the scene with the plane was awesome,one of my favorite scenes of this book. You're always staring at your opponents eyes-but that gives you a bad peripheral view.If you want to track my arms and legs, you have to focus on my chest.' Prodigy is an action pack dystopian,filled with moments that keep you turning pages.It contains emotions, feelings, smart thoughts and full action scenes.Also a lot of secrets are discovered,we have the chance to know more about the main characters,also some characters that had a huge part in Legend. Marie Lu never disappoints.I had really high expectations for this sequel and they were all met.This may not be my best review,because I am still under the obsession of 'Outlander',so I might miss some parts or mess something.I am ready for the finale 'Champion'!

“Love is illogical, love had consequences-I did this to myself, and I should be able to take it.”
