Prodigy

While [b:Legend 17800966 Legend (Legend, #1) Marie Lu https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1366036715s/17800966.jpg 14157512] highlights the attraction that brought Day and June together, this book shows the differences between them and the consequences of what they've done so far. Especially for June. Doubts start to form between them as they get more and more involved with the Patriots, as Day gradually grows to see past that attraction and begins to question June.There's a lot of development here, both for the characters and the ongoing political drama. I was hoping to see the world expanding, and it does expand into a bigger picture once Day and June leave the Republic. They have to part temporarily due to a certain plan, and that's when they are forced to rethink and reconsider their options... because nothing is as it seems.Sadly, I'm not too fond of how Tess turned out to be in this book. Most likely because I liked the platonic relationship she shared with Day in the previous one. In Prodigy, Tess is terribly jealous of June and makes accusations based on jealousy alone. As much as Day tries to defend June, there's a point in the story where it does get to him, and the argument it caused was so painful for both parties. It doesn't help that Anden, the new Elector, is a brilliant character and seems to be a better option for June in comparison....and then I felt guilty for having such thoughts because of that ending.
