Gifted: The Prequels

Gifted #2

by Joshua Mendrala

Long before the days of Joe Stortion, John Caleb, and Madison Jacobs, the universe was a different place. It was a place of exploration, and war. Gifted: The Prequels goes in depth on the events that made the Gifted universe what it is during the days of Joe Stortion. It goes through events like the Colonization Period, the Gifted Wars, and The Prophecy. Not only this, but The Prequels also tells the backstories of characters that are not well known in Gifted, giving the reader a chance to become familiar with ALL of the Gifted universe, before reading Gifted. The Prequels also contains three Gifted chapters, to allow the reader to star seeing how the stories relate.

*Note: Though this is the second installment of the Gifted series, the events in this novel take place prior to book one.

[Lana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I bought this book in preparation to receive my giveaway copy of Gifted: Academy. I am so glad i bought it. I was amazed by the vast, rich world created by this young author. I am very much anticipating reading the rest of the series.

This collection of short stories, reports, and prophecy provide tons of back ground information that I am sure is going to be great to know as I read the other books.

I really think that this author has an amazing future ahead of him. I plan to keep an eye out for his books as they come out.
