Prophecy of the Stones, Flavia Bujor

Prophecy of the Stones is an oddly addicting fantasy book. This is Flavia Bujor's debut novel and it is an interesting one at that. It has an interesting format, within the one book there are two stories going on. Yes, I understand that might be a concept that's hard to wrap your brain around, but it's not as complicated as one might think. The two stories intertwine quite smoothly.

As I said there are two main stories going on and it's told from the perspective of four or more people. The smaller of the two stories is the one about the young girl Joa. She is terminally sick in the hospital in modern day Paris. Through the whole book she is unconscious. This is where the other story comes in. While Joa is 'sleeping' she dreams. Her dream is about this whole other world. It starts with three fourteen year old girls, Jade, Opal, and Amber. They each come from extremely different backgrounds. Are you still with me?? On their fourteenth birthday they learn that they are part of a prophecy. They each get a stone that shares their name and are sent off to save the world. Soon after they meet each other they learn that they must save the world known as Fairytale. Their road is not without conflict. They must face the Consul of 12. The fate of an entire world rests on their shoulders and whether or not they win will determine Joa's survival.

Some parts of this book are quite, how do you put it, cheesy. So beware if your lactose intolerant. I have no idea why but I could not seem to put the book down. It is a great and easy read. Well, it's easy if you can get past the seemingly impossible to pronouce names. It got confusing at times but it was definantly worth the brain frazzling moments. You will constantly be wanting to know what happens next. All things considered I'll give it a B+.
