blindmanbaldwin 's review for:

Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth

---

I love the concept here — what happens ten years after a Super Sentai/Power Rangers team wins — but the book falters in its inability to focus emotion, instead inserting plot to give scope rather than rumination on the word "chosen". A couple fun twists give some engagement but all in all relatively safe.

I do want to praise the use of non-prose: newspaper articles, memos, magazine profiles. It gives the book a nice texture.
