What drew me to read Prophecy was the very beautiful cover.
I really, really love it! I thought the description was interesting too—especially
since I never read a paranormal YA book about Vikings who are demi-gods living
alongside us. I was happy with the execution of the plot and I really liked the
main character Callie.
Prophecy was a hodge podge of mythology, but I found it easy
to pick up on what was happening. The pace was very quick and I liked that the
action started from the get go. Although the Vikings were an interesting lot, I
actually thought the scenes with the villains were the most intriguing. There
definitely was some nail biting going on.
The love triangle was just okay for me and I actually have a
hard time deciding on who the right guy should be for Callie. Justin was soooo
nice and sweet, but I could tell he was being friend-zoned. Liam was a little
jerky at first, but he ended up winning me over eventually. A poor normal guy
like Justin probably would never stand a chance against a super hot, brooding
Viking.
The book didn’t end on a cliffhanger, but there is
definitely more story to tell. I look forward to see what the author has in
store in future installments.
