HTML:Richelle Mead, Lisa McMann, Michael Grant, Meg Cabot, Laini Taylor, and nine more of the hottest YA authors to hit the shelves explore the concepts of prophecy and prediction in this story collection edited by NYT bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Carrie Ryan.
Have you ever been tempted to look into the future? To challenge predictions? To question fate? It's human nature to wonder about life's twists and turns. But is the future already writtenâ??or do you have the power to alter it?
From fantastical prophecies to predictions of how the future will transpire, Foretold is a collection of stories about our universal fascination with life's unknowns and of what is yet to come as interpreted by 14 of young adult fiction's brightest stars.
This collection includes works from: Malinda Lo (Ash) Lisa McMann (Wake) Kami Garcia (Beautiful Creatures) Margaret Stohl (Beautiful Creatures) Laini… (plus d'informations)
This was my first taste of Taylor's writing and she happened to write it in such a way that it reminded me of Mercedes Lackey's short "Lammas Night", which I adore. Three girl friends bake their wishes for the same man to be their future husband into a dream cake on St. Faith's Night, but maybe the results are not what any of them expect.
I really enjoyed this. It was pretty straight forward, you knew the outcome if not the method for getting there. Cathy (aka Pippin) was a likeable narrator if not altogether quick on the uptake. Matty also seemed everything the girls believed him to be, which in the end is what's important when its your one true person right? ( )
Just as with any anthology, some of the stories are good and others are just meh. But I didn't skip any and I got to spend some more time with Rose and Dimitri, which is always a treat. ( )
