Legend and Prodigy by Marie Lu

The books Legend and Prodigy by Marie Lu are a good series of dystopian novels. The first book is Legend then comes Prodigy. They both have the same continuing characters June and Day. In the new book June and Day get separated for different Patriot missions. They are balancing their relationship at the same time. While also trying to get revenge on the Republic for what they did to Day in the first book.  I felt that these books were extremely addicting and left you with so many unanswered questions. these two books are similar. Both of these books answer the justice social action questions which are is justice served, and who blocks justice.

The question in both books is if justice is served. It's not. I also think it will never be served. It would take so much for June and Day to receive justice. For starters the Republic would have to be destroyed. They were the ones that killed Day's mom and brother. They made Day's little brother Eden a guinea pig by infecting him with a new strain of their biological weapon the plague. Also, they were the ones that murdered June's brother. Then they would have to do something about the fact that the kids who fail their trials get sent to be experimented on and die. I think that Day has too much anger in his heart now and won't ever forgive the Republic. June and Day are on the same level. They are both the republic's prodigies.

The other question, is who blocks justice. The thing that blocks justice is the republic government. They made Day hate them. they tested on him and took him away from his family. They are the reason that Day is so angry. They are also the ones that are preventing Day from bringing them down. Also June isn't so fond of the Republic. The republic government are the one who committed the injustice first. They are trying to prevent their downfall which I think will ultimately fail because we learn that Day and June are continuing with the Patriots.

In conclusion justice isn't served. it will take a lot for it to be served. Also, the thing that blocks justice is the Republic. Maybe in the third book June and Day find closure and actually get justice from them.
