Prodigy
discussion
Does anyone else think that Day....












And we have only one more book to wrap it all up...



Anyway, immediately after I finished Prodigy, I went into nerd mode, and well did some light reading on the hippocampus. Based on what I've read it's basically responsible for one's memories, once it malfunctions it could lead to memory related disorders.
What really bothered me was that Junes observation of him, it's like he's seeing her for the last time. But what if day get's magically cured by the Republic's doctors, wouldn't it affect his memories? So I'm betting that Day, once he's cured, forgets everything about June and one day *quoting the book* " I just walked by you on some street one sunny morning and though you were cute, stopped, shook your hand, and said, 'Hi, I'm Daniel'"

That would be so sad and....depressing!
I really hope it doesnt end like that, with the whole
"I lost my memories of you. I have no freaking clue what you are talking about. Why are you looking at me like that?"
thing...




NOOOO!!! Day CANNOT die. He's too freaking awesome. if someone (good) dies, i think it'll be Tess.

Anyway, immediately..."
Godwin, that genuinely gave me shivers.
But unfortunately, when the hippocampus is removed then people loose the ability to retain new memories, not loose old ones. (Sorry, I leant it in psychology.)Then again I suppose something could happen to his hippocampus other than removal..
Also, 'Legend' - Isn't it true that you can't technically be a legend until you've died? (I may be wrong) but if so...
OH MY SWEET JESUS MY HEART HURTS.

Erm, Daniels brother, mother, June's brother, parents (yes they weren't main but still), Kaede.
I rest my case.


Don't get me wrong! These are one of my favorite main characters in any book I've read. But if she's gonna kill off one, I hope she turns it into a romeo and juliet type solution where the two warring side fix their differences because of the death of their two prodigies. I don't know.


Anyway, immediately..."
I'll take this ending over Day dying. I actually like it.

I don't know. I think the doctor is telling the truth. I was wondering what was going on when in Legend and also in this book he kept mentioning that he was having headaches. It's really sad, but realistic.
On a side note, I don't think June, Day or even Anden is the champion. I don't know why but I find that Marie Lu may put more focus on Day's brother Eden. I have this feeling that he may (even if the result is his death) be the one that will change both the people and maybe even perhaps Day.
One thing for sure is after rereading both books, Day has had too much tragedy in his life and with Eden's death he may not have anything else left to live for (other than June). Anyhoo those are my thoughts.



Why. Why do all the good books have to end this way. I will be what we want but it will also have something no one wants.

Because the suspence and pain makes reader want to keep reading.

I agree with both of you! I love day also and i dont want to see anything bad happen to this wonderful character! I was constantly frustrated with June and how she never told Day how she felt.

And does anyone else think that maybe, MAYBE, Day may be known as the Republic's Champion? I don't know, my friend told me this, so i'm hoping that nothing bad happens to him...What are your thoughts?
