Marie Lu
Putnam
Pub Date: Jan. 2013
Picked up this ARC at the American Library Conference in Anaheim this past June.
If you liked Legend, Marie Lu's first book, Prodigy won't disappoint. Same rockin' pace with the same alternating storylines between characters June and Day.
In this book, Lu plays with the concepts of good and evil with more depth. People and nations all have elements of good and evil within them...is the evil you know safer than the evil you don't know? Are our mortal enemies what they seem? What if you had to save an enemy in order to save yourself? In an age (and season) where we see our own politics so polarized, these are important ideas to think about.
A great read for: teens, reluctant readers, gamers, and adults who read YA crossover fiction.
Highly recommend you read Legend first.
Verdict: Definitely watch for this one. Could be movie fodder in the future.
