It is hard to write a proper review for PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS, because a lot of the detail is best left unsaid, so as not to spoil the plot twists and turns. A dark, twisted, Gothic tale, PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS is the first in a scheduled trilogy by Ms. Zink.
Lia and Alice are twins. With the passing of their father, the two have recently become orphans. However, their Aunt Virginia has taken over their guardianship. The two girls were as close as could be, but in the last few years, the distance between them has grown.
Lia doesn't trust Alice any more, and finds her sneaky and guarded when the two are left alone. Not long after their father's death, a bizarre mark appeared on Lia's wrist. Most girls wouldn't know the mark, but from her father's mythology books, she knows that it is the Jorgumand.
As the girls get past their grief, Lia discovers secrets about her mark, and two other girls in the community. They have a common background and band together to find the truth behind the secrets. When they discover that there is a prophecy surrounding Lia and Alice, they know what they must do to safeguard the gate spoken of in the prophecy.
That's it. I can't reveal more of the story or it will spoil the discovery of the secrets that Lia and her friends, Sonia and Luisa, uncover. As secrets are laid bare, more questions arise. Aunt Virginia reveals parts of the past, but only Lia and her friends can prevent the future.
PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS is written in a classic style. Readers may struggle at first with this style of writing, but stick with it! The intrigue and the twists that Ms. Zink creates are unique and satisfying in the end. However, don't expect to have everything tied up neatly by the final page. PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS is only the beginning and there is much more to be revealed in the next chapters. Part two of the trilogy, GUARDIAN OF THE GATE, is due out in August 2010.
