A review by thehamsterreads
Prophecy by Cassandra Morgan

4.0

This is a really good read. Jack, Jayson, and Leo are transported to a magical world called Chartile one day. There they meet Piper, a girl who lives in the wild because she was banished from her town and she teaches them to live in this strange new world. They learn of a prophecy and that they may be the ones to fulfill it and release the land from the tyranny of Princess Taraniz.

There’s a lot of potential in this story. The world is well developed and I really enjoyed learning about it. I liked all the main characters. They are all flawed but very good people. This is a coming of age tale as they grow up and take their new roles in society. They each have their struggles but they learn that if they stick together, they can get through anything. It’s a story of friendship and good vs evil. It kind of reminded me of Chronicles of Narnia since the boys went to a magical world and lived there for a long time. I really liked some of the details in the world that made it different from a lot of other fantasy, such as the dwarves having a matriarchal society, and magic being virtually outlawed. The one downside to this story was that it’s pretty long and it dragged a bit in the middle for me. It picked up in pace again about 2/3 of the way through and kept it up until the end. Overall I really enjoyed the read. If you like young adult fantasy, I definitely recommend it.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review.
