The Chosen by Shay Fabbro, Shay West

2.0

The concept here is definitely intriguing; several worlds each having their own Chosen who must band together to stop a galaxy-destroying horde. Each planet has it's own species and culture, giving the author the ability to create any fantasy world needed to extend the plot. However, this plot device essentially is nothing more than creating a world for the purposes of multiplying what is basically a set group of characters out of a D&D game. There's the warrior, the priest, the wizard, and over it all is the central world inhabited by amorphous beings who reside over the universe like deities. The personalities of each world create basic interactions which have the potential for great stories in themselves, but the complexity of the plot keeps getting swallowed by the simplicity of the dialogue and the inability to expend enough time to create full stories. That there are more books written is in-artfully a guarantee to explore things more but it could have been done better.
