YA/Fantasy: The Prophecy of the Sisters, by Michelle Zink
Not badly written. The stuff with the little brother is poignantly told. Some of it is quite spooky.
On the other hand, this felt like a book in which very little happens other than the reveal of the ancient curse/prophecy...and it just...ENDS. Very much a "book 1" but even in a series, shouldn't each book have its own purpose? I felt like this one really tailed off at the end in setup for book 2.
There's something to be said for cliffhangers.
