Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
2.0
SPOILERS VERY MINIMAL TO NONE: REVIEWING GIST/ ASPECTS OF BOOK
So this did NOT live up to my expectations. I really thought it was going to be a really cool book, especially from the reviews. To me, this felt like a book trying to be as awesome as "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray.
The interesting part was how one sister was good... one evil. The plot was really predictable for me... REALLY OBVIOUS foreshadowing.
The love interest seemed like this annoying needy guy... but then again Lia kept turning him away saying she couldn't tell him anything... but "just trust me." GAH!
The description of the 'otherworld 'was really neat. But it just lacked suspense. Alice fulfilled her part of being freaking crazily demented. What really annoyed me was that I had no idea where the setting was till like almost half-way through the book. That could've just been my problem though. They are in New York by the way. So it was confusing when I read that and felt like I had to change all of there accents from British to American in my head.
The build up was slow... and really the book was a cliffhanger. I know this is going to be a trilogy, but still I want a little of a conclusion. I really wanted to be left with this like "WOW THAT WAS AMAZING" ... but alas, I wasn't. Maybe the next one will be better, but I'm really not sure I want to give it a chance. This book just didn't hold my attention.
So I suggest reading it at the library before buying it.
