Ok, WHAT IS HAPPENING at the end of this book??? I am so confused. Why is this just now showing up? I thought Day and June would like develop telepathy since they both suffer from headaches or some crap. And how is it that they both can get 1500 perfect scores but see the world so differently? This specifically studies book knowledge and to have June be so much smarter is just unrealistic.

I'm still not entirely sold on this series. I don't fully buy the June/Day dynamic, and I think that Marie Lu borrows too heavily from other sources (the capital is in Denver? Really?). I think Prodigy was better than Legend in that it didn't drag as much and introduced life in the Colonies (for about a second), but overall I'm still meh on the series. Truthfully, I like the secondary characters better than the main characters and I think my lack of interest in June and Day is what is putting me ...more
