A review by shelberino
The Prophet of Yonwood, by Jeanne DuPrau
adventurous
hopeful
5.0
The message of this book feels especially relevant to today. It almost felt too on the nose to current events, and I had to double check when it was written.
I think this book gets lower ratings because people just don't like prequels, but I actually thought that the story was intriguing, cohesive, and satisfying on its own as well as in reference to the overall series. I also love how the series focuses on charismatic, selfish leaders, how they get others to follow them, and how to break the cycle. Really cool series!
