I enjoyed the story of Jeremiah Holyfield and wanted to know more about the prophecy and the teens of which it speaks. This book is a standalone and can be read at any point in the series. I hadn't realised when I started reading that none of the teens would feature in this story, so I kept wondering when one would pop up. D'oh!

Prophecy provides some background information about the world - Dracwald - in which the Seraphym Wars unfolds. On this planet evil dragons terrorize humans, and the opening of the book brings that terror into full focus. The opening of the book is however the most dramatic and the rest of the book is more suspenseful.

It's a fairly short book - at seventy-ish pages - and I was expecting more resolution, but then realised that really the book does a good job of bringing the reader into Dracwald and providing some background information. Although not the first book in the series, Prophecy certainly has peaked my interest in the series.

If you liked Paolini's books, I think you'll enjoy Rebecca Ryals Russell. http://krweinert.blogspot.com/2011/10/prophecy-by-rebecca-ryals-russell.html
