PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS begins a trilogy that speaks of olden times, musty secrets, and shadowy danger everywhere you turn. Michelle Zink sets the mood extremely well; the insistence on a lurking danger makes the story all the more suspenseful and will keep you reading, frantically flipping the pages as if that will release some of the tension.

This book is mostly exposition for the promise of more action, more peril in future books. Because of that, readers who crave nonstop action will have difficulty getting into this book. The reading is worth it, however, as the prophecy is intricately created and fascinatingly complex.

All in all, PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS is a promising start to a trilogy that will appeal to fans of gothic literature or dark historical fiction with a hint of the occult. I look forward to reading more about where the prophecy takes Lia and the rest of the characters.

Read this in two nights, the writing takes some getting used to but all in all very enjoyable and interesting. Twins pitted against each other is not often seen and this made it eerie and uncomfortable at times.

The writing took a bit to get used to, reminded me of a somewhat Victorian style. I kept waiting for magic and this was more of a mystery, with some spiritual tones.

This was an interesting read. I wasn't expecting it to be set in Victorian-like times, but it was an interesting bonus. The characters were really twisted. Alice made me shiver, and Zink didn't go with the cliched "twin sisters must be best friends and do everything with one another". Alice was one twisted sister. I liked Lia well enough, and the mystery behind the whole story was pretty fascinating. I am a sucker for old "treasure map" mysteries, and this one even had a dash of magic!

I wasn't really sure about the other characters. Lia's younger brother was fairly well fleshed out as well as her aunt, but I felt her boyfriend/lover/friend was a little flat. Well, a lot flat. I understand that he didn't have a big role in the book, but I felt their romance was cardboard.

The role of her friends Sonia and Luisa, as well as some shocking twists that hit me full force, I was not entirely sure where the book was headed. The end clearly left a lot to be done in the next book, but it didn't leave a large "I can't wait for the next book to come out!!!!" void. It was just a little lackluster.

All in all, a good read. I devoured it in a day.
