Every once in a while I'll have a couple DNF books in a row and I start wondering if I'm heading into a reading rut or if I am losing my love of reading and then I pull a book as well-written and fun as The Art of Prophecy and realize no, I just haven't been choosing good books. Everything about this was a delight--the characters were so compelling and delightful, the plot moves forward without any snags, it's genuinely funny, and the world is so interestingly built. The book took a turn early on that I wasn't expecting, and it just led to a really fun Old Lady Wuxia read. The book follows multiple POV characters as they navigate a seemingly broken Chosen One Prophecy and a world radically shifting after the end of a centuries' long war. I am so excited to read book 2.
