You're making me nervous about the ending.

Its a cliffhanger that's for sure. And she needs to write the 3rd ASAP.

The book is action-packed.

That's one of the good things in the series; there was a lot of action in Legend as well.

Stay to the Lights · 02-25-2013, 05:41 AM

There was for sure

Can't wait for you to read it.

Ive put off reading this series because, truthfully, after reading the first few chapters - I was just like, "meh" not really liking the authors writing style etc ... BUT, I kept going and now I am almost done with Prodigy and I am SO glad that I didnt give up!

I am so involved in the story now, and I am so in love with Day & June... they are tearing my heart out though...

I like finding series when they are all out, not having to wait in between. Lately tho, almost every series I read is only on book 2 and I end up waiting! lol ... ugh ...

This series is so great. Prodigy killed me.

Kristin92781 · 03-23-2013, 08:06 AM

Wow

That ending (Prodigy) ... That was rough. I bawled.

Stay to the Lights · 03-23-2013, 08:31 AM

It was.

COVER

Marie Lu’s epic dystopian series, which began with Legend and continued with Prodigy, comes to an end with the third installment Champion (Nov. 5). By the beginning of Champion, June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic, and now they’re on the brink of a new existence — a country at peace, with hope of reunification with the Colonies. Both are back in the good graces of the Republic: June is working within the government’s highest circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high-level military position. But just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies. War threatens the Republic’s border cities once again. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever and, as June soon discovers, the Republic’s only means of defense could cost Day everything he has.

Quote:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How does it feel to put a period on the series?
MARIE LU: It feels pretty surreal. On the one hand, I’m so relieved that I’ve actually managed to finish my very first series, and that I’ve been able to see my characters through to the end of their journeys. On the other hand, I feel like how parents must feel when they send their kid off to college. It’s a bittersweet mix.

How do you think your fans will feel when they finish reading? Anything we may be devastated about? Will there be any big deaths?
There are a couple of deaths. And possibly some things to be devastated about. What can I say, I’m a writer — I enjoy forcing pain and suffering on my characters! I can’t reveal much, but I will say that Champion is the only book in the trilogy where I cried while writing it. This is mostly due to having John Lennon’s “Imagine” on my Champion playlist, but still. I hope my readers will at least feel a sense of closure at the end.

Tell us about the cover.
Oh man, I’m absolutely in love with it — this cover is such a thing of beauty. Penguin knocked it out of the ballpark. The gritty rose, the flames, the bullet hole! Every piece of it perfectly symbolizes Champion‘s contents. (My friend Beth Revis, author of the Across The Universe trilogy, contributed the bullet hole concept. It helps to have great minds on your side!)

Any new developments with the movie?
I’m really excited about the finished screenplay, and I know Temple Hill is on the hunt now for the perfect director. Meanwhile, CBS Films and I collaborated with game studio Wicked Sweet Games to create a fun Facebook game for Legend called “Cities of Legend.” Fans can check it out here. Both CBS Films and Temple Hill have been immensely supportive.

I finished Prodigy. It was awesome.

I was glad to see Tess leave and I liked Anden.

Stay to the Lights · 08-11-2013, 04:46 AM

I liked Anden too.. and Tess, not so much

But the heart was heartbreaking..

my poor babies.
