Thank you Margret. :)

I'm in!

Here...

has anyone started this yet?

I can start tomorrow evening. Have a school project for my little one to finish this weekend so not much time to read. The 3d pyramids we're building are taking up all my time. :D

I'm starting today. :)

I finished and waiting for you guys :)

at 28%. love triangle. ugh.

Finished it and rated it a 4. And the end... oh my! And why?!

I'll wait for you girls to finish it too so we can talk about it.

@Manju - felt the same and wait for it... more is to come. :)

Starting today as I just finished Legend just now.

A love triangle? After the all love-dovey business in the first one? Really? Is it always necessary in YA?

yay Lundos! Great to have you here!

Well, the focus is now completely split between the mission and the love story, Too much teen angst and too little action.

finished. mediocre read for me. usual YA drama with a lot of twists to keep reader on the edge...

I agree with you Manju. It was mediocre. I seem to be reading a lot of those nowadays. :(

true, after a time these books get similar. had i read this two years back I might have liked it but not now. I just can't stomach the fact that two 15-16 year old had the power to change the future of a whole nation. Specially when they act like adults...

@Manju My rating from 2,3 yrs ago was 5star :) I totally understand what you mean.

Same for me as well. It was very similar to the other dystopian books in term of the storyline... And the age factor is too unrealistic.

I still rated it a 4 because of the twist in the end. It left me wanting to read the next book. Take Seer of Sevenwaters for instance - I think the series could have been just fine without that book and have rated that a 3. Prodigy had a bit of action at least.

True about making us curious on what will come next with twists.. After reading the 2 books, we definitely won't be able to abandon the series. Haven't read the seven waters series... Adding to my TBR..

I'll read the last one too.
