Zink, Michelle. Prophecy of the Sisters. New York City: Hachette Book Group, 2009. 343 pages. (Fantasy / Mystery)Lia Milthrope is in the strangling grasp of an ancient prophecy, too complicated for her to understand. Her twin sister, Alice, however, has known of this prophecy ever since she was a child. The voices of the lost souls whispered to let them through to this world before she could even understand her loved ones, they taught her to harness her powers even before she could talk, and they taught her to fly the Plains, the place in between our world and the place beyond, even before she could walk. A complicated pregnancy led to a mistake in the prophecy, and now it is not Alice’s choice to let the souls in to this world or not, it is Lia’s. The things that have protected Lia from the souls for so long has been destroyed by them, and the thin protection left by her mother has been destroyed by her own twin sister. Lia must leave behind the easiness of her old life and take on this responsibility, for if she makes the wrong choice, the souls will come. For her, for everyone.
Prophecy of the Sisters is an intricately woven tale of life, love, and death. I really loved this book! It was a mystery, but it didn’t lose the emotional factor to suspense and fear, though it was suspenseful. It is quite obvious the work and time put into creating this work of literature, for everything is well thought out and not rushed. I was unable to stop reading from start to finish. I was disappointed in the ending, it was sort of like a cliff hanger, the conflicts were not solved and there was no battle as they promised. But this book was published in 2009, so I’m sure there will be a sequel to conclude the story properly. I recommend this book to anyone who loves suspenseful, emotional stories.
