Prodigy by Marie Lu
3.0

This is still proving itself to be a really solid series. I'm curious how the trilogy ends, mostly because I'd love for these books to surprise me a bit more. This tends to hit a lot of really similar beats to other dystopian type stories, and I really want this world to be a tad more original.
The Colonies being run by corporations YES that's perfect give me more!!!!
However at the same time, I almost like how it hits similar notes to other dystopian type stories. It fills me with a wonderful sense of familiarity and home; I love a YA dystopia for sure.

I'm constantly overwhelmed by how young all the characters are! June is 15!!! She's basically ten years younger than me since I turn 25 in 2 months. That's absolutely crazy to me, which is horrifying in so many ways. Mostly my existential crisis about me getting older.
