While probably my least favorite in the series it does well at expanding upon the story of the previous book. My biggest criticism is in the new characters and specifically the twist villain which felt rushed and like it was made up on the spot. Other than that great read.

Absolutely incredible prequel to one of my favorite book series of all time. The characters were presented in a way that distinguishes itself from the main series yet still makes sense in the context of the previous books. The prophet of yonwood managed to build the most intriguing and allusive secrets and mysteries and in difference to some of my criticism with some of the previous books the payoff to the build up of mystery is incredibly satisfying. Absolute must-read.

Read this book for a school project. While the book has some substance here and there it felt entirely incoherent in theme and plot. Reveals were rushed and partially nonsensical. That's not even mentioning the plain weird climax. A simple description will make you understand why it's so absurd. The main characters make out while riding on dolphins, nearly dying in the process. For the average reader the book is a fine read but for any teachers or students reading please do not use this for academic purposes before at least 8th grade.
