"He is beauty, inside and out.
He is the silver lining in a world of darkness.
He is my light.''

I really enjoyed this book, just as much as the first!

It made sense why the characters fought, based on what happened in the previous book.

This book hooked me, I would have finished it sooner if I didn't have other work!

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

5.0

An emotional wrecker. The world building and politics is astonishingly well-written fairy-tail. This is filled with cliches that are written so well into the story that I felt so familiar and comfortable with whatever happens. I hate how I predicted so many things that I prayed didn’t happen in the book, the longing and waiting of the brutal moment that will ruin everything , just made the book so much more impactful. I realized how attached I was attached to the characters in the book until it ended. Throughout the book, I cried, cheered, sobbed, smiled, laughed, hoped, died, and finally lived. I felt so connected to the main characters that i couldn’t possibly let go. This book is so good.
