Seventeen
year-old Ela of Parne has grown up with this saying. When the Infinite makes it clear He has
chosen her to be His next prophet, Ela accepts knowing she will die young. She chooses to follow the will of the
Infinite and bring His message to the nations.
I really
enjoyed reading this story. The
characters are engaging and the story itself moves quickly. Prophet
is in the fantasy genre but to me it is really more of a conglomeration of Old
Testament events; a little Moses, a bit of a Ninevite type group of people,
etc., woven together into a great story all its own. The fantasy is very “earthy”, other than a
few strange creatures, everything else is familiar—which is good for those of
us who do no normally go the fantasy route.
I am looking forward to the next in the series—Judge.
Prophet is one of those books that you could
go on and on about because it was so enjoyable, but you would give all the
details away and no one else would need to read it! So let me just say, in my opinion, you should
definitely get this one.

I received this
book free of charge from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest
review.
