My review of Prodigy (Legend, #2), by Marie Lu:-

Spoiler:

Prodigy is neither a dystopian novel nor a love story nor a book about prodigious feats or thoughts. That’s just my opinion, so you are free, of course, to dismiss it.

I’ve read a fistful of YA trilogies, and most times the sequels falter in delivering. The acknowledgments section shed a light on the making of this book. A camel is a horse made by committee. And this book quintessentially fits this adage.

I went in not expecting to be swept off my feet. I only wanted my brain to be kept occupied for several hours. But it was not to be. The experience became a burden. I have much more to say but I’ve already put this mess in the past.
