Prodigy



He is beauty, inside and out.
He is the silver lining in a world of darkness.
He is my light.
       -June Iparis

Sobbing uncontrollably, shouting nonsense, and screaming at the characters. Yes, that was my instant reaction after I finished Prodigy. As a good student LOL, I barely swear. However, I swore f*** right after I finished the book. How can Marie Lu torture her readers with a bloody cliffhanger? My heart was broken, torn apart, bleeding like hell.


I don't think that I'm capable of expressing my emotions better than the following review. And I don't feel that I can write a coherent book review without venting my depression and sorrow. Thus, I'll provide a review which absolutely portrays my angst. D:


"Prodigy, though, in a word, is lost. So many sacrifices, so many fears, so many character developments, so many plot twists, so much genius that even a hundred Hershey's bars wouldn't stack up in comparison. This book was not a rollercoaster: it was a freaking cannonball. You don't even get the time to prepare with the proper goggles before Marie pushes you into the waters from a height beyond Shangri-la. Then the words wrap around you like air currents and slam you down into the water with a splash that hurt more than a hundred million bombs setting on fire."
