Chosen Ones
by Veronica Roth
I had high expectations for this book as Veronica Roth is one of my favourite authors and I don’t even check the synopsis of her books I just get them and I’m usually happy with the outcome. But this one was different. This was her first adult book, also I don’t really read adult books at all so it was reasonably new for me too so I’m not sure if my newness into the adult world effects the rating I’ve gave this book. The only thing I noticed was that it wasn’t the traditional adult book with really long chapters, the chapter length for this book was quite nice wasn’t too long and wasn’t too short. I also enjoyed how there was video entries and newspaper articles added into the book throughout, it gave that different aspect off to the story and how you read it.
So this book is wrote in 3 parts, part 1 was okay wasn’t great but not the worst, part 2 I was so bored I almost gave up reading the book, part 3 was just on the verge of been good but just not quite there.
Throughout the whole of this book I was getting Harry Potter vibes but it just wasn’t Harry Potter at all and was quite pathetic when you compare it to it. But the chosen one and the one who must not be named! No the names just puts me off it now when I think back on the book which really is a shame because I really wanted to like this book.
There are 5 main characters within this book to an extent. Well there are 5 chosen ones and they have defeated the dark one and they are trying to get on with their lives afterwards as much as possible but a few of them suffer with their mental health, while others are all about social media and been heroes. In this book they are also kidnapped from their world and are pulled to a different universe where they are challenged to defeat the dark one again as they never succeeded in killing him.
When they are transferred to the whole new world and having to try and kill their dark one is really messed up. You discover why it’s messed up towards the end of the book. I feel sorry for some of the characters because they really do struggle with their mental health and they aren’t sure what to do for the best whether they should just carry on making others happy or to actually think about themselves and put them first for once and not worry about the others. It is a lot easier said than done and she really does struggle but she slowly gets there by the end of the book.
There is quite a lot of action and memories about the fight mentioned throughout the book so you really don’t feel like you missed out on the killing of the dark one as there are the important snaps of the event throughout the book and different events are reminded throughout.
Some of the characters do get on my nerves and some don’t because the ones that try to be the hero’s are not actually because they are so childish and don’t actually help the ones who need it.
Part 3 was definitely my favourite part of the book because we got to meet new characters and we got to see what they can all really do, and learning more about the dark one and understanding him just makes the story more complete. I don’t think I will read the other books within the series or maybe if I do I won’t buy the physical books or read them instantly. I feel like this book could have just been so much better, the potential was there slightly but it just needed a few tweaks here and there and then developing in certain parts and then it would have just been the perfect book that she usually writes. I’d still buy any of her other books just maybe not the rest of this series.
