This book had an open ending, something that I usually despise and pass off as the author’s laziness, but with this one, I could tell that it was well thought out and planned. I love this series so much just because of the amazing ideas. I mean, I loved the plot as always and Marie Lu’s writing style is one of my favorite ever. I had to reread the book to fully comprehend it’s beauty. I appreciate that even the complete soldier by heart, Thomas, has regrets for just blindly following orders. That shows some real character development. Also, don’t lie. I know that everyone cried at this part.
“When late afternoon comes, I finally leave Batalla Hall and head to a smooth, ivory-white building at the east end of Batalla Square. There, I show my ID at the entrance and make my way up to the building’s twelfth floor. I trace familiar steps down the hall, my boots echoing against the marble floors, until I stop in front of a four square-inch tombstone marker with the name CAPTAIN METIAS IPARIS embedded in its crystal-clear surface. I stand there a while, then sit sit cross-legged before it and bow my head. “Hi Metias,� I say in a soft voice. ‘Today’s my birthday. Do you know how old I am now?� I close my eyes, and through the silence surrounding me I think I can sense a ghostly hand on my shoulder, my brother’s gentle presence that I’m able to feel every now and then, in these quiet moments. I imagine him smiling down at me, his expression relaxed and free. ‘I’m twenty-seven today,� I continue in a whisper. My voice catches for a moment. ‘We’re the same age now.’� (pg 361).
*sobs* I just can’t. It’s too beautiful for words. This book toyed with, crushed, and shredded my heart into miniscule pieces. And I loved every moment of it. ...more
I wonder, is it possible for Marie Lu to actually write a bad book? Probably not. This book was just so amazing that it blew me away. I usually end u I wonder, is it possible for Marie Lu to actually write a bad book? Probably not. This book was just so amazing that it blew me away. I usually end up complaining about how the sequels never live up to my standards after the first book raised them. I am so happy to say that there has not been such a problem this time. Prodigy is so amazing that I can’t even. I loved the introduction of Anden as a main character. I loved Marie Lu’s writing style as usual. She is one of my favorite authors of all time because of this series. I can’t wait to read the third book and die crying in a puddle of my tears!...more
