BOOK REVIEW { Prodigy, by Marie Lu

sexta-feira, 24 de julho de 2015


book synopsis:

Prodigy begins with Day and June traveling to the military city of Las Vegas to make contact with the Patriots. Day acts like he is a drunk soldier to hide his injured leg in order not to blow his cover; June acts as his consort. When they arrive in Vegas they are shocked by an announcement from the Republic government that the supreme leader, the Elector Primo, has died. According to regulation, the Elector's successor, in this case his son Anden, immediately assumes office without a period of mourning.

yes. YES. I HAVE FINALLY READ THIS.

I HAVE NO WORDS. IM SCREAMING. MY FEELINGS.

I LOVED the first book but this one does NOT stay behing AT ALL. maybe it's even better.

it has:
  • new characters
  • depeened the republic/patriots/colonies complex
  • is really fast paced
  • i loved how the plot enrolled, plus how things added up to eachother
  • METIAS AND THOMAS HOLY SHIT I'M SCREAMING
  • IT WAS hearbreaking. especially that ending.
  • day.

going into !!SPOILERS!!: 

my gods. i loved this book a lot. i found myself glued to the book. some things caught me off guard, like the appearance of Anden, the fact that Metias was in love with Thomas. (which made me squeal reAL HARD as a fangirl). Tess pissed me off, even tho i loved her in the first book. The Patriots. The colonies. Kaede. oh man, if i haven't read this in my tablet, i would probably throw it across the room when she died. we got to see Eden again.  plus Day and June's relationship through this book. how they had arguments but they were there for eachother. THE PAPERCLIP RING. TH E PA P ER C LI P RI NG I REPEAT -- just to break my fucking heart in the end. oh Day, my poor Day. i'm so SO sad and i fear for him in the next book.

I can't wait to see how the republic will evolve now. what will happen to them; to their loved ones. i'm even fearing for Ollie's well being.

I cAN'T wait to read Champion.But do i want to read it now? no. my feelings are overwhelming me. crushed.

god dammit marie lu and her amazing books.

 my opinion:
★★★★★

The Heroes of Olympus is a pentalogy of young adult fiction novels by Rick Riordan which collectively form a sequel to Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The final entry in the series, The Blood of Olympus, was published on October 7, 2014. 

The Heroes of Olympus is centered around a prophecy, introduced in The Last Olympian (last book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians book series), that predicted seven demigods would unite to protect the earth from Gaea, who plans to destroy it.

  • i ordered this at BookDepository for ~80€  (79,xx€ to be exact)
  • took me 10 business days to arrive - ~3 weeks.
  • the box it came in was HUGE. full of bubble wrap and it was nice and the set had no imperfections, nothing molded, everything was perfect. nothing was harmed. so very nice shipping .

so, on to the books! 
if you haven't noticed already, i'm artsie af. i LOVE the cover designs for these covers. you have no idea HOW MUCH. I own the first three books, until The Mark of Athena, in paperback, UK covers. but i just. i HAD to get these ones. so instead of spending €20 in buying HoH and BoO & later on buying these, i decided to go straight and buy these. they were a gift from being an honour student! so thanks mom :) ♥

i absolutely love John Rocco's artwork plus Rick Riordan is my writing god. I loved PJO and loved this series as well. 

the hardcovers are really good quality, and they fit perfectly in the box and ugh they're just so pretty and soft. i literally couldn't stop touching them for DAYS ! (i may worship them everyday. who knows.)

once i finish all the books i'll be doing a review of the series! :)

also here's my first youtube video! any criticism is very welcome!
please tell me how to improve myself! ♥♥



Thank you so much for reading <3
♥ don't forget to smile today ♥,
Alex xx
