Prodigy / Marie Lu / 374 pages

In the world of the prodigy, Africa, Antarctica  & China house the world's tech capitals and attract a fair share of tourists.  South American has largely disappeared and the US has ceased to exist.  Instead it consists of The Colonies in the East and The Republic in the West.  The Patriots are a group in the middle determined to resurrect the United States.  June, Day, Tess, and Kaede escaped The Republic in Legend, recuperate in The Republic/Patriot stronghold of Las Vegas, and return to assassinate the new Elector Primo.  June realizes that the planned assassination is a mistake.  Can she convince Day?  Although this second book in the Legend trilogy is a bit predictable, it is still a noteworthy read.

"All it takes is one generation to brainwash a populations and convince them that reality doesn't exist."
