Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
3.0
3.5 stars

An overall fine story and a good start to the trilogy. I remained engaged to the end and while it wasn’t a book that hurt me to pause my reading, I was often glad when I had the time to pick it back up. The puzzles were a bit too easy to figure out but I assume that’s less of my skill and more the intended reader age of the book; an estimated 10-13.
Zink has a nice writing style in this that shifts, only as needed, between a semi-removed diary-esque narrative to one focused intensely on the present. The shift was never jarring and I enjoyed it because where the former style works in standard narrative, it would have greatly undermined the emotion of later scenes.
I wasn’t drawn in enough to this work to rush and get the sequels, but that’s not to say never. Maybe one day, curiosity will drive me to answer “whatever happened with Lia and Alice?”
