These Deadly Prophecies by Andrea Tang
4.0
Thank you to Andrea Tang, NetGalley, and Penguin Group for an eARC of These Deadly Prophecies!
I really enjoyed this book! It felt like a fantastical version of Truly Devious and The Inheritance Games.
Things I loved:
The overall plot - A sorcerer dies mysteriously and his apprentice and child have to figure out who killed him before either of them gets charged with his murder. High stakes, but fast-paced and fun!
The diversity - I liked reading about a hero who wasn't a young white girl. The author subtly mentions her Asian culture and I liked hearing a different perspective about how parent's from another culture would handle a situation like this.
The silly banter - Callum and Tabath are adorable. Tabatha is a smart girl, determined not to be swayed by the easy-going jock. But we all know what happens when these two are forced to stick together! Their witty conversations, flirting, and general awkwardness had me laughing.
I like reading Young Adult novels because they are faster paced, easier reads and generally great palette cleansers that can clear your head and ready you for another heavier book. This book definitely succeeded in this task. 4/5 stars.
