March 15 - 21

Prodigy by Marie Lu
Wow! Okay, this one got impressively political in a way that added a lot to the world, AND didn't bore me to tears. That's quite an achievement. If Lu had been an author in Antarctica in her own novel, she would have gained MAJOR points and probably and actual achievement from managing that. The characters' travel to outside of their own boundaries was incredibly interesting. The political landscape on a global scale was creatively imagined in ways most people ignore. It can be hard to imagine Africa as a technological mecca, and most people don't even think twice about Antarctica. That whole aspect really caught my attention.

(Note... I'm actually thinking this might have been in the next book in the series... but it was still awesome.)
