Prodigy by Marie Lu

Prodigy is a book written by Marie Lu, it is the second book in the trilogy of dystopian novels: Legend, Prodigy, and Champion. This book shows the two main characters, Day and June, while they are on the run from the government of the Republic. They ally themselves with Razor, a Patriot spy in the Republic government, in their plan to assassinate the Elector Primo. What I liked about this book was that it was not boring at any point. There was always some form of action occurring throughout the story.

The author dropped several subtle clues hinting towards the ending of the novel throughout the book. Prodigy displays the pain and suffering that those around you could feel if you break their trust and lie to them, and it shows the things the people could do against you for turning away from them. Many people could relate to this moral in the book because the majority of people have suffered something like this. Prodigy was my favorite book this summer, and I recommend reading it if you enjoy dystopian novels or books that teach a lesson.
