Leigh-Ann is Reading-The Hawkweed Prophecy by Irena Brignull
I just finished reading this novel and I think it’s one of the best YA Fantasy novels of the summer that have managed to give a realistic and well-developed depiction of sisterhood and friendship.
Set in a modern day world where witches live away from humans, the Hawkweed sisters receive a prophecy that says one of their children will be the next queen of all the witches. Readers are introduced to two sisters – one who isn’t the brightest spark in the pack and the other one determined to make her daughter the next queen of all witches. From page one, I fell in love with the way this book was written and the fact that romance wasn’t the main focus among the women in the story. It’s so uncommon to find a Fantasy YA novel which emphasizes friendship that doesn’t lead to romance and The Hawkweed Prophecy is a gem among stones.
