Book Review: Prophecy of Fire

Title: Prophecy of Fire 

Author: Humphrey Quinn 

Date: 2017 

Publisher: Rachel Daigle 

ISBN: 978-1386671343 

Quote: "This doorway won't open again for three years."

Colin and Meghan Jacoby always knew they were different from most of the teenagers on Earth. They're twins, they're orphans, they've always been homeschooled and lived with their uncle, and they're more perceptive and generally quicker learners than most people. But when they befriended the new kid in their neighborhood, they learned that he was one of a tribe of people with magic powers that include travelling among alternate worlds. Jae's people are stalked by magical monsters called Scratchers that resemble giant bats. Meghan and Colin were just beginning to develop their own magic powers when, trying to protect Jae from Scratchers, they were sucked into his world. Now they're stuck there, and have to go to school and develop their powers along with Jae.

This is volume 2 of (so far) 12 volumes. The story will make more sense if you've read volume 1 and won't really reach its ending until you've finished volume 12. If you don't mind a book whose plot expands on you in this way, then Prophecy of Fire is for you.
