Goodreads Summary: "Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic's most wanted traitor.

But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games?"
Rating: 5/5 Stars!!!!
SPOILERS! *If you haven't read Legend, turn back. There is no way to give even a summary without spoiling Legend for you.
My Review: This book picks up pretty much right where Legend left off. Day and June are making there way to Las Vegas, Nevada to find the Resistance and get help for Day's injury. As soon as they reach Vegas, the action picks up and NEVER lets up. NEVER guys. There are so many twists and turns in this book. It keeps you on your toes at all times. The political drama is still prominent in this book, but the romance plays a bigger role. I am so glad the love between June and Day was stepped up some.
It's not often that you find a sequel that is at least just as good as the first book, and this one is definitely just as intriguing. This series is amazing. I'm so glad I picked it up. I LOVED this book! It was just as good, if not better, than the first book. Legend was really gripping, but it took several chapters for me to become engrossed. This book on the other hand, had me from the very first page while still maintaining all of the good things about Legend , like the kick butt characters, and I couldn't put it down for anything. This book deserves the best ratings across every board. I definitely recommend this series! It is one of the best Dystopian series I have read in a long time.
Spoilers ahead for Prodigy!!!
- So when the resistance hideout ended up being in the middle of a army barracks, I knew something was up. It was too fishy. At some point the identity of the rebels would have to have been questioned. It did make sense that an officer was heading the resistance though.
-I didn't like Razor from the very start.
-When Thomas told June that he had strict orders from the state to kill Metias I freaked. I thought it was only Commander Jameson that wanted him eliminated.
-Plot twist: Metias was in LOVE with Thomas?! WHAT?! So unexpected for me.
-Tess and Day is not allowed to be a thing. She's a pain in the dang butt. She's rude about June just because she's jealous and I can't stand that.
-June and the Elector I can definitely see happening. I like him. He's sweet and so different from his father. He has a crush on June, and I definitely don't disapprove of a relationship developing there.
-So now theres a love square/rectangle....the struggle.
-I love the part when Day gives June the ring made of paperclips, and June pretty much loses the ability to talk. It's so cute! (I would swoon over a paperclip ring if I were her)
-When Kaede flies the jet at the end of the book, I was pretty much biting my nails from the excitement/stress of it. It was epic.
-Kaede's death broke my heart since she was such a huge help to June and Day escaping the Colonies.
-Plot Twist: The Colonies are pretty much just as bad as the Republic....:(
-Plot Twist III: Um...Razor was hired by the Republic to assassinate the Elector by way of the Resistance.. Like.....what even! It was so unexpected. I knew that Razor was messed up. The whole deal was just suspicious.
- Plot Twist again: When Day is diagnosed, I cried a little. I had to put the book down for a minute to process it. I hope he doesn't die in Champion. It would be so wrong. Especially since he has his brother back.
- The end was so sad! When Day leaves June with just a kiss and barely an explanation, I was angry, then I was just sad because June was really falling for him. She doesn't know what to do without him. She tries to convince him at first that it could work and she would stay away from the Elector if it would make it easier for Day. It was just hard to read.
Once again, I really recommend that you read this series. I hope that you've enjoyed this book talk/review and I appreciate you stopping by! Until next time....
XOXO,
