Prophecy

Prophecy: Child of Earth (Symphony of Ages #2) by Elizabeth Haydon

Sequel to Rhapsody, which I reviewed in July. I also finished this one in July, so I'm slightly fuzzy on the details now. One thing I know -- the thing we've all been waiting for finally happened. But we're also still waiting for it. Gaah. I think the characters may have started to feel a little more flat to me in this one. Not sure if it was this or the next. They feel a little forced, a little too much told instead of shown. Ah well.

“‘Achmed?’
‘Yes?’
Her voice was a weak whisper. ‘Will you keep singing until I’m better?’
‘Yes.’
‘Achmed?’
‘What?’ He leaned forward to catch the soft words.
‘I’m better.’”
