I would have preferred them to be interspersed with the internal dialogue found extensively in the prose books. The few things that made me question the way this graphic novel was organized was the number of bubble-less panels, ones that either showed just landscapes or actions without some onomatopoeia. Again, Day sacrifices something of himself – his heart – to ensure that June and the Republic survive. He feels like he burden June with his terminal illness, because he knows that she’ll take her anger out on the already precarious new government in the Republic. Like, they had just made up after having some explosive arguments earlier in the narrative – amazingwork on the pointy speech bubbles! Really expressed the mood and emotions! – and then Day goes in for a check up and his world turns upside down. How Day found out about his tumour first, and then went to go break up with June. However, note that some events were chronologically wrong in Prodigy. How Thomas explains why he killed Metias (even though that really happens in Book 3 – Champion). Graphic novels of prose books are also fantastic in that they divulge key details and points of the prose by bringing them to visual life. There were real conversations and arguments, ones that are voiced aloud, unlike in many other YA novels/graphic novels where the hero(ine) tend to internalize their feelings a lot. You can feel the romantic tension between them (as opposed to the tension between Katniss and Peeta – sorry, not sorry). June and Day become real characters with hearts and feelings. She touches on topics that are relevant today: from corporate monopolies, to weeding out the weak, and government corruption at the highest levels. But of course, things don’t always go according to plan…Īgain, the dystopian era was a great one, and I feel like Marie’s series needs a lot more recognition. Kill the new Elector Primo and restore balance to the Republic.
June and Day have fled to Las Vegas in disguises to try to meet up with the rest of the rebels…the Patriots. Once reunited with Kaede, Tess, and some new rebels, June and Day receive the opportunity of a lifetime. Prodigy takes off pretty much right after where Legend ended. Prodigy: The Graphic Novel YA Dystopian By Marie Lu (Legend graphic novel #2) ~ “All it takes is one generation to brainwash a population and convince them that reality doesn’t exist.” ~
