The audio book narrator was awful. Will reread the physical books in 2025

This was a rather intriguing book. I thought it was a fast read, but very thrilling. I've added the rest of the Lost series and the Circle series to my reading list!
fast-paced
Ted Dekker's Chosen is a captivating addition to his extensive literary universe. Known for his polarizing work, Dekker delivers a thrilling tale that keeps readers engaged until the very end. While the complex world-building may require prior knowledge of the series, the story stands alone as a thrilling adventure.
The character development is masterful, with familiar faces like Thomas Hunter returning and new figures like Teeleh adding depth to the narrative. The fast-paced plot is filled with action, suspense, and thought-provoking themes.
While the story's place within a larger series might be a drawback for some, Dekker's skillful storytelling and engaging characters make Chosen a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
This was your fairly typical chosen one story. It was a nice, light read from some of the other things I’ve been trying to get through lately.
I read the Circle Trilogy years ago (Black, Red, White) which follow Thomas Hunter and the Forest Guard in their battle against the forces of evil.

This series, written for the YA reader, fills in the missing years between the books. Four new recruits to the Forest Guard, 16 and 17 years old, discover their calling. They are The Chosen.

Skeptical of how Dekker's writing would translate for a younger audience, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this tale.
