Prophecy (The Sylvalla Chronicles Book 2) Kindle Edition

by A.J. Ponder (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

A celebration of epic fantasy from award winning and USA TODAY Bestselling author, A.J. Ponder's Prophecy is a read alone novel of power, vengeance, betrayal, and loss—and the second book in the much-loved epic saga The Sylvalla Chronicles

Princess Sylvalla has faced dragons, proven herself a hero, and accidentally kidnapped a king. And that kidnapping thing is about to become a problem.

Fuming over the indignity of being taken as a hostage, King Phetero seeks out ancient evil and coerces the infamous wizard Dothie into helping him destroy his nemesis, the feisty Sylvalla and her Kingdom of Avondale.

Sylvalla fights back with everything she has, but with her father dead and her kingdom under siege she yearns for the days when dragons were the only things she had to worry about.

Worse, the two wizards, Jonathan and Capro insist Sylvalla abandon Avondale and her family in a desperate bid to save the Seven Kingdoms, and all because of a crazy prophecy from a half-mad prophetess.

A classic fantasy adventure with a twist, by multi-award winning and USA TODAY bestselling author, A.J. Ponder.

About the Author

Sir Julius Vogel award winning author, A.J. Ponder, first picked up a pen when the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth...and probably dragons as well. Back then, it was important to learn sword-fighting to fend off marauding T-Rex's, but now it's a skill reserved for fight scenes and irksome sea-monsters.

Sylvella and the gang are back

Sylvella and the gang are back
With the events of 'Quest' (volume I of this series) behind her, Sylvalla finds being a hero for the people can mean more than running around fighting monsters. 'Prophecy is a little darker than 'Quest' but still good fun as Sylvalla, chafing at her new responsibilities, rushes from crisis to crisis. The wizards are there, trying to pull the strings in the name of prophecy, more often than not getting themselves entangled, while Dirk is still as wonderfully, efficiently homicidal as ever. Things are set up for a grand finish in the final volume that's still to come. Hopefully that's sooner rather than later.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully rich high fantasy spoof with side-splitting footnotes!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

In this, the second book in the Sylvalla Prophecies, our feisty heroine princess must head off an unfortunate war (King Phetero is still annoyed about that accidental kidnapping) and there is the little matter of her betrothal to Francis the-stable boy-turned-prince. A wonderfully rich high fantasy spoof with side-splitting footnotes and a foreword by lecturer on recent history, cryptic prophecy and the translation of ancient text, Frederick Fraderghast, Prophecy is tale within a tale. A complex story, Prophecy could fail to deliver is less skilled hands, instead, Ponder’s tightly-woven farce romps along, enthralling the reader with twisted plot events and unexpected vocabulary. It also has serious feminist underpinnings, sufficient to give Sylvalla’s parents the vapours. This one will appeal to Potter fans, especially those who secretly rooted for Hermoine, and to RPG enthusiasts. With gorgeous print production and stunning Craig Phillip’s artwork, Prophecy is highly recommended for family reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book

Sylvalla again. I like this feisty adventure-hunting royal. I love Jonathan the young wizard who sets out on his own quest route because it's what young wizards do, but it's just a rite of passage, nothing too much to handle yeah? Well, oh dear ...

Sylvalla and her groupies have adventures and, wouldn't you know it, there's an old adversary on the scene.

Prophecies obviously have a lot to do with this story. Words are important to wizards - 'words are ships of power that sail the world'. Love that.

Me, I love adventure, and quests, and heroines and heroes. I really enjoyed the first book in the series and, especially the prequel but, for me, this book has surpassed the other two. There's the merest hint of what may (or may not) be coming.

Silly me didn't realise I only had to tap the reference number to a footnote to get the immediate explanation. I frustratedly waited till the end! Duh? Oh, and I like the asides that pop up here and there, like in "Quest".

This was a great story. I loved the characters and great world building.

One night there is a break in at the castle. The culprits are there for her and her younger brother. Sylvalla escapes her room through a secret passage in her wardfobe. When she isn't found they go for her mother. Now with both her parents dead, she will be forced to rule until her brother comes of age. In the meantime, sylvalla must chase the culprits through the mountains trying to stop them from unleashing an ancient evil that would doom them all.

The Book Dragon's Hoard by A.V.
4.0 out of 5 stars Story's getting better and better
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024
This second instalment of the Sylvalla Chronicles read much more smoothly. I really enjoyed how much more well-rounded things are in this one. Sylvalla has befriended some women, which made for a better balance in the "posse", and also came with some rather amusing moments.

The author seems to have gotten into stride with the narrative style. I found this one an easier read and also more enjoyable. It's still dry, but the wry humour worked for me in Prophecy in a way that it didn't in Quest.

My only gripe is with the multiple points of view. There were, once again, parts of the story told from the perspective of random characters, and I found that jarring. I prefer having fewer perspectives so I can really get into the characters' mindsets.

This is a fun adventure with a nice balance between duty, responsibility, and doing what one loves. I also found Sylvalla a lot more endearing in this volume.

Enjoyable and worth the read. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fantasy Sequel
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022
I enjoyed this second book in "The Sylvalla Chronicles" as much as the first one. In this story, Sylvalla still fights her place in the kingdom, but circumstances continue to force her on a path she doesn't want to take. The story was fast-moving and action-packed. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend this tale to others who enjoy this genre. Benjamin Fife's narration was very entertaining. His performance always enhances the story that he narrates. He is one of the narrators that I seek out whenever I'm searching for audiobooks. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Things are a bit darker in this book
But while lots of fun elements remain-the stakes raise for Sylvalla, in this second book "Prophecy".
