A review by trangreads
The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau

3.0

It didn’t start picking up until halfway through the book. The second half was really good, but the first half was just so slow. I really had to force myself at first to keep reading. The “epilogue” was really enjoyable, hearing about Grover’s accomplishments and Crystal’s decision with the house. And it was cool to see how the characters of this book were connected to those in Ember.

I hate how long it took me to realize that Nickie and Grover were basically Lina and Doon lol. I feel like the author just took the same characters and changed their names (girl with curiosity for the world and boy with appreciation for animals), but it’s a children’s book so whatever.
