The Trouble with Prophecies by Jake Joy
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Adequately represents the story Too many recent novels put messaging before a good story; this isn't one of them. Even so, it's obvious the author has a moral compass. The writing is clever, modern, and self-aware. Had Terry Pratchett been born 30 years later, I could imagine him writing something like this. |
