3rd Quarter SSR

           The book that I read for my 3rd quarter SSR was Prophecy Girl by Cecily White. 100 years from now, I believe that this book will not be read. I found that this science fiction novel was too similar to a lot of the books I've read in the past, and the plot seemed a bit confusing at times. For example, a sudden jump in time and events that wouldn't connect, even further in the book it was never explained. One instance of this happening was when the protagonist, Amelie Bennett, used her channeling powers to teleport out of danger on multiple occasions, whether it was a demon attack, a villain attack or she just wanted to run away. She is a very rambunctious teen, struggling to keep her love and her sanity throughout the book and her powers of teleporting was a bit repetitive and overused. Because of the constant changing of the setting, I believe that the book didn't give a chance to develop Amelie's personality and traits, as well as her place in the plot. Therefore, Amelie's character wasn't as strong and important as the book intended her to be and personally ruined the book for me. With not a dynamic protagonist I felt that the storyline wasn't as enticing and interesting I had expected it to be.
             In 100 years this book won't be read by people in the future due to the lack of character development and overall awkward transitions in the plot. Although the book did focus on strong character emotions, which furthered bonds between Amelie and her comrades. However, as time changes, this lowkey popular book probably won't be read by people 100 years from now because as time changes so do people and their ideas. The society would probably read more modern books or well-known books such as the Bible and Shakespeare's writings. The book itself doesn't teach and strong morals or themes and I just felt like the book was a bit unclear at discussing important plot points.
