A review by ladynigelia
The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau

2.0

I was disappointed. We don't find out how this connects to the other books in the series until the afterward so I spent the whole book wondering why this story was important. The story itself was fine, but the teachable moments weren't as strong and some of the logic didn't match up with attitudes of the town.
The other books had a puzzle for the reader to follow along to solve as Lina got more information. There was a puzzle here, but we never see Nicki working on it. She just tosses out the answer at the end.
