Liking those characters together and apart made Marie Lu's narrative style work so well. But on the whole I love June and Day together, I think they make an excellent team and they are fantastic characters.
As much as I didn't necessarily ship it in Legend, the addition of love triangles in Prodigy made things even more frustrating when it came to romance. That also extended into the romance of the book. It made it hard for me to suspend disbelief at times.
But here for some reason I just found myself wondering why on Earth anyone would have a fifteen year old doing, saying, or thinking that. I read a lot of YA and I am used to young protagonists, I am used to characters that grow up fast and are trust with a lot of responsibility at a young age. My one main criticism is that they just don't seem fifteen. But they are both also caring, intelligent, and resourceful. They are both so trusting, in fact they are too trusting.
In this book their personality traits both positive and negative felt much more similar. Things are not easy for either June or Day in this book but they can handle anything that you throw at them. In Prodigy they have to live with the consequences of their actions in Legend. Despite being heroes to many people, they are far from perfect. Both June and Day are complex and interesting protagonists. I loved the characters in Legend and that didn't change in Prodigy. All this combined to create a captivating and action-packed read. Marie Lu took the established world and characters, made the stakes higher and then threw in that political intrigue I was missing in Legend. Prodigy is what Mockingjay should have been, what Insurgent could have been, and what The Scorch Trials would have been. Prodigy was such a great sequel to a dystopia series. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games? June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor.ĭesperate for help, they turn to the Patriots - a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. Synopsis: Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives.ĭay is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him.
