![]() ![]() I eventually did what was right and put the book down when I was about halfway finished. The sex scene is referred to later in the book as June and Day ponder about what happened. Although the scene doesn't go into graphic detail at all (thank goodness!), it is still very clearly a sex scene, which is completely unacceptable (for my standards). The scene continues on with the arousing of sexual feelings and June straddling Day. This is where I realized that Prodigy was much different from Legend (and I should have stopped reading the novel there, but I didn't). As June is undressing Day, she thinks "I wonder what a naked boy would look like". Not even a third of the way through the book, June needs to attempt to cleanse Day's wounds in a bathroom - with a closed door - by undressing him (because his wound is severe enough that he can't undress himself) so that she can get to his leg wound. I was so impressed by the lack of language and the absence of sex/nudity in Legend, and I thought for sure that Prodigy (book two) would keep the same moral standards as a novel. ![]() Let's just start off by saying that I really, really loved book one of this series (Legend). This is a longer review, and you're welcome to go ahead and scroll down, but I believe that it is necessary to read this if you are considering whether or not your child should read this book. ![]()
