Review of The Prophecy of the Heron
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Prophecy of the Heron" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
The prophecy of the heron by Craig W. Stanfill, is the sequel to the first book in the AI Dystopian series; Terms of Service: Subject to change without notice. After Kim’s total fall from grace, following the events of a genderist trial against her, she is exiled to District 33, the worst possible place to inhabit. Coming from a life of considerable comfort and a bit of luxury compared to the lifestyle in the foreign district, Kim finds it hard to adjust to her new life and has to learn to literally fight for herself. Despite the hardship and troubles that always seem to locate her, she resolves to cope, rather than returning to the AI company or falling back into the hands of the Hierarchy, which it would seem were still after her. Following a series of events which leads Kim to finding a Heron with a prophecy, she has to make certain decisions to help her change the course of fate. Along the line, she encounters beings who either try to help her with her mission or hinder it.
I would like to begin by encouraging readers who have not seen the prequel to this book, to do so in order to have a better understanding or risk being confused, as there are a lot of unfamiliar concepts such as gender, pronouns and terms of service, which may or may not be hard to keep up with, without previous knowledge of the book.
From the moment I read the first book, I just knew I had to follow up on the sequels because that is just how captivating it is. I absolutely enjoyed watching Kim’s character development, her ability to adapt to any and every situation is extremely impressive. I enjoyed every detail of the novel. It's one of those books where you just have to know what happens next and with Craig, it is nearly impossible to predict what comes next. The twists and turns are enough to keep anyone on edge. The book might get a little confusing to some at some point but things are not so hard to miss out on, provided one pays rapt attention.
I perceived no downside to reading this book. I was, however, expecting a better reunion between Kim and Kimberly. But that didn't make it any less enjoyable, regardless. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because such an amazing piece deserves nothing less.
I recommend this book to readers with interests in the dystopian era, to lovers of the AIs, and generally to a mature audience as it contains profanities.
