Oh uhhh I decided to read this because [b:Pandemonium 9593911 Pandemonium (Delirium, #2) Lauren Oliver http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1310371414s/9593911.jpg 14480923] made me think I was recovered from Dystopia Fatigue but maybe I wasn't really. Maybe my government mandated cure for Dystopia Fatigue didn't work! Maybe I'm a special and unique CHOSEN ONE!!! But also I guess maybe I didn't like [b:Legend 9275658 Legend (Legend, #1) Marie Lu http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1333909141s/9275658.jpg 14157512] as much as [b:Delirium 11614718 Delirium (Delirium, #1) Lauren Oliver http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327890411s/11614718.jpg 10342808] in the first place.Anyway, same deal as with Lauren Oliver's books, in that it had been awhile for me between books 1 & 2 and I did not super remember what happened in Legend. I found that to be slightly more crippling for Prodigy, but also I didn't super care enough to try to google it. I think by about halfway through the book I'd pieced together most of what happened in Legend.IDK. It was fast paced? I read it all in one day. It was maybe too fast paced? They did all this shit in like 2 days? Fine, whatever.Is this like a love rectangle now or what. I did like all the talk of class consciousness. Four for you, Day.like WHATEVER. if you're crazy about teen dystopias you probably already read this. if you're not I wouldn't recommend you go out of your way to read it.I can't decide if this should be 2 or 3 stars. But, I did read it all in one day, so I guess that's something. Also I like that Day's chapters were in blue ink. Uh... yeah.
