I have said this several times that I’m not a fan of thrillers. But last year after trying authors like Jesse Q. Sutanto and Kelly Olivers, I have now breached that gap between me and the thriller. That’s why I thought why not pick up These Deadly Prophecies and have tachycardia by solving a murder mystery.
This novel is about a girl named Tabatha Zheng, who used to be an apprentice of the famous sorcerer Julian Aurelius Solomon. Before his death, Julian disclosed a prophecy with Tabatha that he would die at the hands of his best beloved. He also advised her to find and to remain by the side of his youngest son Callum Solomon after his death. Thus Tabatha and Callum together try to solve this murder mystery.
This isn’t as simple as I have told you above. There will be several plot twists, high fantasy, and you’ll be wondering till the end who exactly is the murderer.
There are several things that I have liked about it.
The characters were amazingly multi layered in the novel. Believe me it was very difficult to comprehend who is on whose side. I would like to appreciate the writing style of the author. I like the way Andrea Tang tried to give a message through the characters of the novel. You’ll have to guess this message by reading the novel.
The fantasy element was really great. The sorcery, prophecies, fortune telling and spell incantations, I really enjoyed them a lot. God these spells were really thrilling and lethal as well. Especially the 2nd half of the novel was exciting in terms of magical fantasy.
The story was narrated by Tabatha’s POV. Tabatha was a great story teller. She literally kept me on my toes. But also her narration is full of humor.
I was hoping to get a 2nd book, but I’m not sure if that’s possible. Let’s hope for it because I want to see more of Tabatha’s adventures.
