Reaction: Prodigy pages 151-252

WARNING! The following post contains SPOILERS! If you didn't know that, you might need your eyes checked. 











As this is the first legit Reaction Post I've ever made, here's what's going to happen: I'm going to blurt out my feels. That's it.









PAGES 151-252




... What.



Even.




Normally when I read books, I expect that some sort of exponential curve can be plotted over how good they get from start finish. That is, they start of kind of slow to set things up and draw you, while progressively getting better and better until it ends.

Prodigy's graph is like a diode.


For the first hundred pages, it was more talking and planning more than anything. That's not saying it wasn't good (because, let's face it: I don't think Marie Lu can write a bad book), but it just wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be, and frankly, I we getting kind of bored with all the talking and stuff. 


And then. 


This happened. 



***Warning: Feels ahead***




I can't exactly decide if I like Anden or not. I don't trust him entirely, that's for sure. 

Day still reminds me of this freak. 



Let's talk about June through the course of these pages. Of course, she's being a boss and doing everything perfectly to a T. Until she doesn't. 



And then she starts getting sick. 



Then she faints. 


Then she unceremoniously rolls out a jeep.



And Tess. K, I thought you were cute in Legend.
But now:




And then she ditches Day for a bunch of rebels that are probably no better than the guys they're trying to get rid of. 


I shall finish this book ASAP. 

And then review it. 

Horray.

Nico di Angelo

Nico's first appearance: The Titan's Curse . It makes me so sad how Nico starts out as an innocent, adorable little boy who loves and jabbers about a geeky game. He has no idea he is a half-blood. He has no idea he's the son of Hades. He's innocent, has his older sister, and has his nerdy game. And then, Bianca goes to be a huntress for Artemis. Nico feels hurt, but still has his sister. And as time goes on, this innocent, happy Nico is destroyed. He loses his innocence. He loses Bianca. He realizes that his geeky little game is actually real, and extremely dangerous. He becomes a shadow; a sad, broken-hearted soul who rarely smiles. He goes from innocently asking Percy if he can surf really well, to promising Percy to take the others to the Doors of Death at the end of Mark of Athena. Nico is a character who I have a special soft-spot for. He lost so much, and hurts so much. He seems misunderstood, but really, he's probably one of the most

BOOK REVIEW: THE DARKEST MINDS BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

I found a review on Goodreads that perfectly puts into words how I feel about this book. (Author: Mitch) (cuss words have been removed; points that I personally REALLY agreed with are in bold) On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian. It's incredibly dark and disturbing, but more than that, there's a certain realism to Alexandra Bracken's writing that makes the plot believable in a way few other books in the genre are. Yeah I'm frustrated, but not because this book is a generic dystopian - it's not, not because the plot calls for kids being rounded up in concentration camps and shot in the back - though that happens, but because I feel ...more "On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian.

Review: Sylo by D.J. MacHale

So, Sylo by D.J. MacHale. This is the non-spoiler part. I will tell you when the spoiler part starts. The second book in the trilogy is set for release towards the end of March, so look for it! Awesome looking cover. Yup. The beginning was strange and frankly, it scared me a little because I was reading this late at night before going to sleep. The ending, like in the last 50 pages was like: Okay, that might be a bit of an overstatement. It wasn't a feelsplosion, it was just crazy plot twists. Yeah. Leave it to D.J. MacHale to make everything complicated. *cough cough Pendragon cough* My rating: Hmm... 8 /10 It was a good book. I was definitely pulled in and it keeps you guessing. .................... Okay, spoilers below this point. Stop reading now if you haven't read or are planning to read this book. Tucker. I like how Tucker isn't the wimpy back-up football player at end of the book. He becomes a leader and the group has no idea what they're
