kattheblackbelt 's review for:
Chosen Ones
by Veronica Roth
ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 3
I did enjoy this book after Part 1, but if this book wasn't by Veronica Roth, I don't think I would have stuck with it through Part 1. This book felt like it was very slow paced in Part 1 and felt like reading a long winded wrap up of a book I hadn't read before. I do think it was important to introduce the characters and their problems, but I just felt like some parts could have been cut down on to get to the action packed and main meat of the story.
As for the rest of the book, it was very enjoyable to read and the character arcs were well done. I think that all the characters showed development in themselves in their relationships as the story went on. I do think that the story is interesting enough to read the sequel to this book and I think that the second book will be a lot better than the first because there shouldn't be as much set up. Overall, a decent read, albeit a little slow in some places.
