Was really interested by the plot but at times it was slow and I can’t wait to read the next book to get more of a background

Not gonna lie, it was good.
The Chosen was a pretty awesome audio to listen to. Now I went into this with zero expectations. Mostly because I didn't want to have high hopes and then get utterly disappointed. In it, you will meet Cade. Now he goes on an awesome adventure throughout this book. At first, I didn't know if I was going to enjoy it but definitely ended up doing so.
One thing I wasn't expecting: dinosaurs. Yet, it was oddly satisfying to read about. Back to Cade, eh he was predictable. He would constantly get into sticky situations that would sometimes annoy the crap out of me. The only saving grace about it was that he though things through before acting. I just wished he wouldn't get himself into said sticky situations so freaking much.
Overall, it was entertaining and I'm actually excited to dive into the next book. I hope it doesn't suffer the second book syndrome.

This was my first novel from this author — I didn’t hate it, but my gosh it was very, very immature. There were times I was just rolling my eyes with impatience because of the amateur writing. It wasn’t a very exciting novel and while I understand this was meant for younger audiences, it just wasn’t quality writing. Interesting plot-line for sure, but the Cage is a much better, detailed, thorough, and thoroughly enjoyable novel for audiences looking for humans placed in an impossible world. Overall, this novel didn’t leave me very satisfied or curious, the writing style wasn’t good enough to leave me wanting to read the next novel in the series, or to pick up another book by this author. Yet, it was an enjoyable mindless read, not difficult to get through, just not one of extraordinary quality that I would want to continue pursuing.

I received an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm sorry to say that I really didn't care for this book. I didn't feel that the characters were well thought out. The ending was quite predictable. The entire book felt like it was the prologue for and upcoming book.
