bookbriefs 's review for:
Prophecy of the Most Beautiful
by Diantha Jones
By now you all know how much I enjoy mythology based books. I have read and reviewed a bunch of them in the Young Adult Genre and a couple in the New Adult genre, but I don't think I have ever read one from the perspective of the oracle. There have been books that deal with prophesies but none that deal with the person making the predictions. I thought that was a really interesting take on the subject.
The Prophecy of the Most beautiful deals with the becoming of a new oracle. A very important one at that. Chloe is treated awful at her old school, so even though she had to leave her family being whisked away to this crazy new life amoung the gods and demi gods had to be an improvement for her. And it must have been nice to know that she wasn't crazy. She kept having these "hallucinations" and no one really understood them in any other way but to call her crazy. At her new home everyone praised her for how special she was. But she was no ordinary oracle. No, apparently the gods and have been waiting over 2,000 years for her to arrive.
I liked Ace and Stafford and the whole demi-god gang, but it annoyed me that no one would give Chloe answers. She was just picked up from her life and brought here and she was kept in the dark. She was mad about it, but she still went along with what they wanted. I would have fought a little harder to find out just what was going on. Especially if it was about me and my life. There are still some unanswered questions left for the next book, but we do find out a lot of things in Prophecy of the Most Beautiful, include what the "most beautiful" is.
There is the signature adventure/ quest theme of mythology, but the cool part is that the oracle is part of the quest. Everyone just wants her to stay out the way and stay safe, but Chloe gets right in the middle of the fray. She just can't sit still, she has to be involved. I liked her spunky attitude. Prophecy of the Most Beautiful had a really cute and happy ending. I liked the way it was concluded because it was not a cliff hanger, but there is still plenty of stuff looming over Chloe and the rest of the gangs head. Lot's of great things to come in the next book. I am enjoying this series.
