Prodigy carries on with the story of Day and June as they run away from the Republic, and hope, desperately, that the Patriots will take them in and help them take down the corrupt government.

Oh my goodness. This series, I have no words. It has everything you want in a dystopian series from a fabulous, strong couple ready to take on the world, a corrupt branch of government that have their fingers dipped in everything and a few twists and turns that leave you breathless with anxiety, grief and love. I adore Day, he has been my ultimate literary crush of the year and this book didn't change that. I did get a bit annoyed at him sometimes (cough, Tess) but overall, his gut instinct to trust June over others really wins out and keeps him as the Day that I love.

As for Tess, Marie Lu definitely has an insane ability to make it very easy to hate the guts of a character I felt amicable towards in Legend. Literally from the moment she reappeared, I got angry with her. Every part of the book Tess was in made me want to rip out the pages so she didn't exist. Ugh.

And that ending. Oh, Day...I'm so nervous to find out what happens in Champion now :(
