Prophecy Girl
2nd Quarter Book: Prophecy Girl by Cecily White. To give a bit of background info, the story revolves around the secret lives of the crossworlders, a race of human descendants from angels and demons. The humans with the bloodline of the angels are blessed with supernatural powers, classified into two classes, watchers and guardians. The character that I find most fascinating in the book is the protagonist, Amelie Bennett is a rambunctious teen following whatever she wants to do in her life. She is constantly rebelling, her mood is all over the place, but she is very protective and caring when the ones she cares for are in danger. With graduation almost over, she struggles to find a "partner" since watchers and guardians need to be paired in order for their powers to be more useful and stronger. Throughout the book, she is very dynamic, learning more secrets and lies about her own life and further develops her character as well as the plot. This helps further the action in the book and create a better read for the reader, inticing constant twists and problems that are thrown at Amelie. The reason I chose this character because she is a very wild character, creating many events, good or bad, that are fun to read and fun to react to when she tries handles them. One of my favorite character moments was when Amelie's best friend saves her from a teacher. Instead of letting Ami get taken in, she knocks the teacher unconscious, throws her a backpack full of food, money, and clothes, and gives her the "I gotchu" face when Ami teleports away from danger.

Your books sounds like a good read since it its a true high fantasy novel as it still takes place in the modern world but keeps these supernatural elements hidden and I personally love this idea compared to the traditional fantasy. Amelie seems like your classic teenager who is still learning who she is and is thus creating problems for herself and others which I think a lot of people around our age could relate to creating problems we may not necessarily know how to solve. I hope I am able to put some time aside to read your book cause it seems like an exciting read.
ReplyDeleteI really love fantasy books and this one sounds really interesting. The way you described Amelie sounds like somebody I know closely and it looks like she's a great character that's in my protagonist expectations. I'd like to give this book a read.
ReplyDeleteThis books sounds interesting, I like how Amelie causes trouble because trouble is what makes a book good. I like how Amelie's friend just clubs the teacher on the head, I think that is hilarious and worth reading the whole book for.
