**Plot spoiler if you have
not read Legend!**
Following Legend, Prodigy takes up where the Republic's most wanted criminal, Day, and the Republic's most celebrated prodigy, June Iparis, left off - hitching a ride on a train bound for the military city of Las Vegas. Nine days have passed since they broke out of Batalla Hall and escaped Los Angeles. Day wants to join up with the Patriots to rescue his little brother, Eden.
"You're really set on finding the Patriots,
aren't you?"
Elector Primo has died and his son, Anden Stavropoulous, is the new Elector.
The Republic has simply moved on to the next Elector without skipping a beat, as if Anden were the same person as his father. My head swims - I try to remember what I'd learned in school about choosing a new Elector. The Elector always picked his successor, and a national election would confirm it. It's no surprise that Anden is next in line - but our Elector has been in power for decades, long before I was born. Now he's gone.
Our world has shifted in a matter of seconds.
June and Day find the Patriot's leader, Razor. Although they don't have any money to offer, they're still valuable to the Patriots.
"There is something you can offer," he starts. "Fortunately you've arrived on a very interesting night."
"Rarely has the Republic been as vulnerable as it is now. There will never be a better time to spark a revolution."
The Patriots want Day and June to assassinate the new 20-year old Elector.
Will they accomplish this mission? Who can they trust? Will they survive? This is a great read if you like action, drama, and political intrigue. In my opinion, Prodigy is a more exciting read than book 1, Legend.
