alyshadeshae 's review for:

The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau
3.0

My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:

2.5 out of 5.0 stars

The very worst thing about this book is the dog. I hate dogs.

The very best thing about this book is the story line. As a stand-alone short story, it’s not too terrible. As part of the incredible Books of Ember series, it falls terribly short.

I’m glad I read this first instead of third (publication order) because I would have been even more disappointed in this book if I had already read “The City of Ember” and “The People of Sparks” before this prequel.
