The Prophet of Yonwood

I finished reading the The Prophet of Yonwood, the third part in the Books of Ember series and it was disappointing. It's a prequel to two previous books in the series, but not really until the last few chapters. The majority of the book is based on mishearing a prophet. Yeah, that's right. The whole town is following the advice of a prophet no one can understand clearly. The entire book is based on that premise, which is quite lame.

I know this series is aimed at young adults, but the following passage towards the end made me laugh out loud: "She'd fallen in love with a dog instead of a person. But that didn't matter. It was still love. She'd apply it to a person later on."

Riiiiiiight.

Because pouring a bowl of dog food and flea baths are exactly like cooking for your spouse and buying shampoo at the drug store.
