Prodigy (Legend #2) By Marie Lu - Restarting November 15th 2022

[Abi]

June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

Sarah and i will be reading this on the 25th. Everyone welcome to join. :)

[Kindle25]

[Abi]

I might try and fit some in as well. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

8% (view spoiler)[ ha ha! They weren't expecting that! Kill the new primo! (hide spoiler)]

[Kindle25]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Can't sleep :(

21% (view spoiler)[ this new leg stuff is weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

24% (view spoiler)[ I really think that this plan is ridiculous. June is right that they might just shoot her. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

32% (view spoiler)[ she was the youngest and they kicked her out? That sounds odd! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Starting soon. :)

(view spoiler)[ You can just tell that it's going to end badly! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "32% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It sounds a bit odd that they done it the year before she got tested. She could have had a pretty high score..
I felt really sorry for her. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

45% - (view spoiler)[ Yep, because telling Tess you'd only save her over June, because June can take care of her self, is a really good way to show her what she means to you... (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

62% - (view spoiler)[ Day, what are you doing?! Are you trying to wreck your friendship with Tess? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

79% - What is wrong with the sequels this week?! First unwholly, and now this. Nowhere near as good as the first!

[Abi]

90% - (view spoiler)[ Poor Kaede.
Someone actually spoiled Kaede's death for me, when i was talking to them about Legend! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

95% - (view spoiler)[ Aw, Such a cute reunion. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

96% - (view spoiler)[ He's dying?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just home. so sick of second book syndrome! will have to catch up a bit later on! I had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well though (view spoiler)[ - getting herself arrested and then trying to get close to the new head man? ridiculous! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

35% (view spoiler)[ I really do think this plan is stupid. She's in shackles for pitys sake! How is she supposed to get close to the new primo when she's a prisoner? (hide spoiler)]

I really liked Day and Tess's friendship in Legend, but in this one, the friendship annoyed me on both sides.
(view spoiler)[ Day because of saying what he did to her (it REALLY didn't help) and the fact that he kissed her back for a few seconds, to get back at June. Then, Tess because she initiated the kiss, and tried to turn Day against June. (hide spoiler)]

[Kindle25]

you're already done??? wow, you guys sure read fast!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm not finished, I was busy yesterday ☺

45% (view spoiler)[ I know it wasn't the best thing to say, but I couldn't help but laugh at day's reason for saving Tess- because June wouldn't need help! (hide spoiler)]

[Kindle25]

Hehe. I was busy yesterday and today. Will try to finish it tonight :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

62% (view spoiler)[ i don't get the tess and day thing either - i thought they were more like siblings. tess is annoying me to be honest, and why is day so jealous of june and the elector? did he not consider that this might happen when they hatched this silly plan? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "62% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I miss them acting like brother/sister. They're both wrecking their friendship. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

62% (view spoiler)[ does she really want to be with someone who she has to talk into being with her? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

71% (view spoiler)[ this argument is getting old and everything is getting twisted. not good. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "45% - [spoilers removed]"

I actually found this really funny. It was like he was trying to annoy her!

[Abi]

The cliffhangers at the end were really good! I can't wait for champion either. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

84% (view spoiler)[ that poor woman! I am so angry! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

92% (view spoiler)[ this reminds me of the balcony scene in Evita! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

94% (view spoiler)[ totally saw june being offered the princeps role coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "94% [spoilers removed]"

I saw that coming as well.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

96% (view spoiler)[ did not see day's head issue coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "96% [spoilers removed]"

I know! Total shocker.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

99% (view spoiler)[ I freaking hate you Day. What the hell is it about characters in books that they can't just be upfront and honest about important things? they have to be all self-sacraficing instead, and it never works out well in the end, and now we have to deal with a freaking cliff hanger! (hide spoiler)]

It's just cruel! All this power and she does that?! Evil!

[Kindle25]

Sarah wrote: "99% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I agree! Why can't they just tell the truth and SEIZE THE MOMENT! They are just going to waste their time pining for each other anyway!

[Abi]

I'm so excited for book 3, but you can just tell that the majority of the first half, will just be them pining for each other. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

annoying isn't it.

[Kindle25]

At least we don't have to wait for another year to pass before reading book 3 though :D. Yey

[Tati]

Maddison and I will be reading this on November 26! Feel free to join!

[Abi]

Date changed. :)

[Tati]

Thanks, Abbie!

[Tati]

Maddison, this book has 29 chapters. How about 2 or 3 chapters a day?

[Maddie]

Yeah 2 chapters a day sounds good. :D Do you mind re-capping me on Legend? XD I can't really remember it and don't wanna re-read it.

[Tati]

SPOILERS FOR LEGEND (THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES):

At the end Of Legend, Day and June are on the run, having been rescued by a group of rebels. However, the plano doesn't run smoothly, and Day's brother ends up being executed in his place.

I think the key facts in Legend are:
* Day didn't fail his test. In fact, he had a perfect score.
* June's brother, Metias, was murdered after uncovering a plot relating to the Plague, a virus that is genetically engineered by the Republic (and so were her parents).

[Maddie]

Thanks! Why don't you just put in (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] XD
