A little saddened about how difficult I found it to get into the beginning of the book but once I passed the halfway point I was very much captured again. 

Alot of this book stressed me out with the questioning of loyalties and uncertain behaviour from characters but it made it all the more interesting. 

I am intrigued by the introduction of Anden as a character and am hoping he is as good as he seems. I am slightly irked by his attraction to June given his age when she is only 15-16 but I do appreciate his calm demeanour.

That ending ripped my heart in two and I am bracing myself against the events of the final book in the trilogy, I truly hope June and Day are able to thrive and prosper.

Prodigy is a reflective book to say the least, definitely much more focused on the characters' emotions and ambitions, dreams and their fears, and an in-depth perfect sequel to Legend
