Jaymes’ Review:
A sweet, compelling story of love, loss, the future, and discovering the truth about yourself are all at the core of Sherry Ficklin’s Foresight. The story of Grace Archer is a fascinating view of the Pandora myth.
Finding out your mother was Pandora and you’ve inherited a box containing the power to destroy everything is a lot to take in for a new high school graduate. To top it off all of this knowledge comes at the hand of a crazy demi-goddess who wants you dead to gain control of the box. Grace also discovers she has her own latent powers that have surged into wakefulness because of the stress of the situation. In her journey to save herself and keep the box hidden, Grace learns there’s more to her aunt Phoenix and finds her own love in Chris.
This is a well-developed story with carefully crafted characters that make you cheer, laugh, cry, and want to see standing at the end of the battle. I’m sure there will be more to come as Grace continues on her journey. Ms. Ficklin melded together the different mythologies in a believable and intriguing world. Foresight is refreshing and well worth the read.
Rated 4 Gold Crowns by Jaymes!
