And *there's* the love triangle

Prodigy - Marie Lu (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2013)

Not just one triangle, but two. Or maybe more. It gets kind of complicated. But sort of more fun. Because when it's a bunch of teenagers running a rebellion against one (or more?) totalitarian regimes, you need something to remind you that they are kids and have hormones and stuff.

Day & June are recruited by the rebel Patriots, but June isn't sure that the Republic isn't trying to change from within. And then there are the Colonies, which is some sort of capitalism-gone-wild state. And the two protagonists aren't sure who they can trust, particularly whether they can trust one another.

Which is all to say: blow it all up. Let's the children take over. Easy. Done.

So what happens in the next installment?
