I was highly entertained by this book! The narrator was really good and it is an audiobook with ambiance music, which added to the eeriness of the story. The story is a classic good vs. evil story, but what I loved is that there is a bit of question mark to who is what in the beginning.
The story itself was interesting, but I think that you have to be able to make the jump into fantasy in order to enjoy it. It asks you to believe that there are other worlds out there where you can still talk to the dead. I think that if you tak it too seriously you may get stuck on some of the repetitiveness.

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.
