A review by michael_benavidez
Chains of Prophecy by Jason P. Crawford

5.0

This book can be compared to a bomb.
Slow short fuse and when it blows, it lasts a very long time.

The truth is, I went to this book with low expectations. From the blurb I automatically labeled it as not my kind of kind of book. From the prologue I felt as though I was right in thinking that. And then the story really began...

It's good, it's really good. Not great, but damn close to it. The writing is the kind that you'll sit yourself down and say "I'll read for a couple minutes." next thing you know, an hour's passed. It's immersive, engaging, and original. This is the type of material that could easily bend into preachy, but Jason Patrick Crawford does well to hold back on it. Instead he goes on to give a different view on it, while giving the story what it needs. And by that I mean the surprising graphic detail. No spoilers, but there is an angel I've been wanting to incorporate into my work, and Jason blows mine out the water. Wonderfully done.
