Publication Date: 29th January 2013

Book Source: Own purchase
Synopsis: June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.
It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.
But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?
My Thoughts:
An amazing sequel to what is fast becoming one
of my favourite Dystopian series and a highly addictive one.
June and Day continue to share narration,
there's no holds barred action, assassination, conspiracies, break-neck pace,
twists, turns and shock developments, exploration into the Republic/Colonies
world and government badassery well and truly disclosed.
Whilst this might sound like a plot heavy
installment, characters haven't been overlooked. June's character shows a lot
of personal growth, I particularly like her strong moral code and Day, well
Day's not static either ... infuriating, erratic, but not static; gotta love him. Can I
just confess I really don't like Tess ... anyone else feel like that? or am I
just a mean girl?
Loyalties are tested, some characters die, and
some that don't ... should. *cough* Tess oops did I just say that out loud ... I am a mean girl
;)
Anden the new Elector Primo is
unexpectedly likable but I'm not sure I like where things are headed
with June and Anden. However I will wait, impatiently, and trust that it works
out the way I want it to ... the right way lol
I was gutted *sob* at the ending of Prodigy, Ms Lu I
hope you're going to make it
all better in Champion or I
will rescind my "addictive and favourite" status,
throw a massive hissy fit or indulge in some serious ugly crying.
