A small note: while I read and loved the first two books immensely, it's because of that love that I won't ever read this last instalment. I felt that the ending of Prodigy answered all of my questions, and left the story and relationships on a really strong and poignant note. I don't feel the need to read this book; for me, this series ended. 
 I just don't feel like I need to know any more of this story. Have any of the rest of you ever felt this way? Let me know.
