I will be reading the rest.... I liked the story even though I knew where it was going... hopefully there's a twist I'm not expecting.

This idea of this book sounded interesting, but I couldn't get into it. I thought the plot was slow; I read about 100 pages before I put it down and didn't feel like anything had happened. After reading some of the other reviews here, I decided not to waste my time. A good idea, but not executed very well.

Zo začiatku ma tá kniha vôbec neoslovila. Neviem čím to bolo, ale jednoducho som sa nemohla dokopať k tomu, aby som ju čítala, no ku koncu už to bolo o niečo lepšie, nepovedala by som však, že vo mne zanechala hlboké dojmy.

As far as YAs go, Prophecy of the Sisters is one of the better ones out there. Twas the first book I've read with sisters opposed in such a way which is why it appealed to me enough to buy it in the first place (that and it was only $5). I didn't know it was part of a trilogy at the time though. And although I am curious as to what will happen next on Lia's journey, I am not curious enough to go out and buy the next two tomorrow. But one of these days I may go borrow them from the library. We'll see. *shrugs*

Well, I am a little disapointed. This book had so much potential, but it was really slow and predictable. It wasn't hard to guess what will happen. I didn't really like the characters, mostly because the story was still focused on Lia and that was really boring. I wish we got at least one chapter from Alice's point of view. I might read the next book, but to be honest, I don't really care how it will end, mostly because I have a feeling I know the ending.

The premise was intriguing, but ultimately I didn't love it. The sisters are very twin-tropy and completely flat characters. The ending was dissatisfying and felt like it was just setting up for a sequel.

Michelle Zink’s Debut novel is a dark fantasy filled with mystery and intrigue that captures us with the very first scene. The hauntingly descriptive funeral and revealingof a secret mark sets us off into a world never before seen. This is a twisty tale of two sisters, twins, battling their own destiny, seeking freedom from the one thing they cannot control, forces them to not only fight against their future, so clearly laid out for them, but also fight against each other. Zink portrays her relationships in a vivid form with each one full of personality, mystery and intrigue. Each character comes alive on the pages but they are all intertwined in a tale of dark and epic proportions.
Lia, though confident in her role in the prophecy is not as confident in her other relationships with her friends and family. She struggles with both her love interest, James, and her family, hiding the most important part of who she is. Trust is imperative and both Alice and Lia struggle with it, forcing the mythos and the character’s struggles to intertwine and deepen as the plot arc advances. Alice, Lia’s twin, is distant and cold, conniving and ruthless even, but yet she is a girl fighting her darkest nature and striving to do what she thinks best. She is sad and mysterious and I am compelled to read more, hoping to get to know her more; to understand her better.
The writing is the first thing you notice. It is lyrical and it flows seamlessly into the eerie and haunting occurrences of the novel. I was feeling the grief, the torment, the inner struggle with each word and felt what Lia felt. I was there with her struggling alongside her.
I was captivated by the mystery of the Prophecy, constantly on edge of my seat, guessing left and right, and yet I was surprised when it wasn’t what I thought. Though sometimes I was ahead of the game so to say, the story was still interesting enough to keep me in it till the last page. Even when I had to put it down it was like a siren calling me back. I was rooting for Lia the whole time and her heartache was truly felt. Beautifully written, engrossing and lyrically enchanting; I couldn’t put it down and I am ready to follow Lia through her journey, prophecy and destiny.
This tale that intertwines fantasy with mythology is a must read for any age. It is sure to keep you on your toes, guess at every turn, and it is sure to keep you up at night. Michelle’s debut novel is a captivating beginning and a promise for a wonderfully entertaining trilogy, full of chaos and hauntingly enthralling.
I give this book a 100/100 A+

This is one of those books that I would have to re-read just to make sure I don't miss anything. Especially before book 2. Can it hurry and come out already?
