Missing. June Iparis. Agent, Los Angeles City Patrol, 15, Female, 5 Ft 4 In. 350,000 Republic Notes Reward.
If seen, report immediately to your local official.
That's what the republic wants their people to think. That I'm 'missing'.
What they don't say is they want me dead.
I helped Day, the country's most notorious criminal, escape his execution, aided the rebel patriots in a staged uprising and turned my back on the republic.
But I won't turn my back on Day . . .

The moment that you realise a sick June is still smarter than you’ll ever be...
Nail-bitingly suspenseful, "Prodigy" is another genius novel of the dystopian genre.
I absolutely adore how Marie Lu writes romance. Although I’m all for soul mates and instant connections, I find the relationship between June and Day to be strikingly realistic and really sweet. There is a deep understanding and they are each other’s rock. It’s really sad when June and Day just don’t set that and fill themselves with doubts.
That ending – I was torn between bursting into tears, screaming in frustration and throwing the book across the room. Just- I can’t even. There really are no words… Let’s just say that I’m extremely glad that I’ve got the final book at home ready to go.
I loved Kaede. I didn’t expect to, but I did. Not to mention, she is an amazing pilot. "Prodigy" reveals more of her backstory and develops her as a character. There is an epic flying scene near the end of the novel where she pulls off some awesome manoeuvres which made me wonder how good she was before her eye injury as she is ridiculously skilled even though her sight was permanently impaired.
The Colonies had been built up to be the perfect society so I was weary when June an Day ventured there – it was all too perfect. However, I did not expect it to be as Kaede showed Day – I think that I’d actually prefer the Republic to stay separate and just change in itself as opposed to the Colonies taking over and “reuniting the United States”.
If you loved "Legend" and suspense is your cup of tea, I highly recommend picking up this novel. With sweet, relate able romance and a major cliff-hanger ending, "Prodigy" is a great, thoroughly enjoyable read. - Melissa (QBD)
