Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
5.0
As twins, Lia and Alice have a shared bond. But as they grew up- and apart, their bond has changed. Lia finds out that they are part of a prophecy passed on from the beginning of time, one that could bring about the end of the world. As she struggles to understand her part in it, she finds herself in a battle of will against Alice. As their loyalties are tested, nothing between the sisters remain the same.
At first I was a little skeptical about reading this book. When I started, I hoped I wouldn't regret buying, and I didn't. I loved it. The gothic style, and the depth of Lia's voice is amazing. Zink's world about the Souls is also very creative, and clear. The characters are wonderful. The imagery and descriptions are fantastic. The only thing I had qualms with at first is the easy acceptance of the prophecy on Lia's part, but that didn't become an issue later. But as I said before, Lia's voice was amazing. At some point, I felt that I was syncronized with her feelings- when she was in choking sadness, I was too.
The pacing was well done too. No info dump, but a good amount of information was given, while Lia and her friends go about finding the rest of the answers. This is an excellent read, and I can't wait for the next book.
