SSR Book Review

I decided to read "Prodigy" by Marie Lu this quarter which is a Utopian fiction genre book, and the book consists of 371 pages. This book takes place many years after the present in both LA and Las Vegas. The two main characters who are in love, Day (boy) and June (girl) are on a mission to meet with the this secret organization called the patriots who plan to take down the corrupt government of the US and rebuild the country to its former glory. After barely making it out alive of Los Angeles, they travel to Las Vegas where they hope to find the patriots to help them save Day who is in pain and his last family member which has been imprisoned by the government. Once Day and June finally find the leader of the patriots, Razor, they make an arrangement to help both Day and June with whatever they needed in return for a favor. Razor's favor was for June who was born from royalty in the government to use her position to infiltrate inside the government and assassinate the new Elector Primo and use day's skills to help on the outside.
I enjoyed this book mainly because of the intriguing story that it provided, and throughout the entire book I felt very connected to both characters because of how detailed every page was. The two main characters are perfect for this book because they are both prodigies who have the highest skill throughout the entire country, but both born from complete opposite backgrounds. In the book it switches off perspective from both Day and June which makes it much more of an enjoyable read because the reader gets to see what both are thinking in the same situation. There were many major plot points that were very unpredictable which made it much more of a thrilling read.
