Prophet by R.J. Larson6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Due to these things, I'd recommend this for older teens and up. There is no strong language, though there is a small romance element that while certainly not lewd, did have a couple moments that some might find distasteful. There are several instances of graphic violence and lots of death in the book. There were a few moments where things got a bit slow, but not to the point where I completely lost interest. I do not have any issues with this at all, and in the case of Prophet, there wouldn't be much of a story without the religious overtones. Therefore the religious themes are very overt unlike classic fantasy of Tolkien, MacDonald, or even Lewis. The plot of the story loosely parallels biblical events from the Old Testament but with elements of the fantasy genre, such as mythical creatures. Ambassador Kien is an interesting character also. Her little sister, Tzana, adds an interesting element to the story and in many ways helps keep Ela grounded, although subconsciously. She is courageous, resolute, and righteous without thinking too highly of herself. ![]() The characters are fabulous! The heroine, Ela of Parne, is a wonderful character who you can't help liking. ![]() But Prophet is! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. And it's not always easy to find one that is both. I really enjoy a well-written fantasy story that is clean. ![]() Prophet (Books of the Infinite, #1) by R.J. ![]()
