Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth
5.0

This book was incredible! Veronica Roth just nailed it the way she describes Sloane's PTSD. And now I love her writing all over again after loving Divergent so much.

This story begins as a tale of what happens to the heroes after they win the battle. They are celebrating (some are not so celebratory) the 10 year mark of the defeat of the Dark One. I loved this so much because, especially coming from Sloane's perspective, I feel like this is a very truthful look at this situation. Some moving forward and a few, like Sloane and Albie, are still having a very hard time. This book gives such an honest look at PTSD, it's just, WOW! Spot on.

However, this 10 year anniversary turns into a whole new shade of drama and Sloane (with a few other Chosen Ones) is right back in the middle of a fight... this time, it's against the Resurrectionist. Nothing is really as it seems, even Sloane. Layers keep peeling back getting closer and closer to seeing what is really inside these characters, including the enemy.

This book was gripping, emotional, and eye opening.. and I loved it! And I want more! Can't wait for book two!
