Waiting on Wednesday #1: Prodigy by Marie Lu

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine


Prodigy (Legend, #2)
June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

In this highly-anticipated sequel, Lu delivers a breathtaking thriller with high stakes and cinematic action. -Goodreads

I feel compelled to point out how freakin awesome that cover looks! Way better than the first one!
This book comes out in 27 more days (AHH the agony) and I cannot wait until that day comes. Especially when it says "high stakes" and "cinematic action" in the synopsis. 

Don't tell anyone (hehe I just did), but since I read the first book in November of 2011, I kind of forgot about the plot and pretty much all the important stuff that occurred in Legend (let's just say I wasn't blessed with a very good memory). All I remember is loving the book a lot and dying inside when I found out the next book would be released in 2013. So, I will probably be re-reading the first book, or I won't understand anything this book is talking about. Yay for re-reads!
