The Chosen by J.R. Ward
4.0
I can't give it five stars because it has typos. Can you believe it? A big publishing firm working on a long standing series can't be bothered to make sure it's released without typos. *shakes head sadly* How insulting is that?
Was it well written? Yes, of course it was. After 15 books in this series J.R. Ward has it down to a science. She skips from story line to story line. In this book, it was even choppier than usual, changing the focus almost at every chapter. If you like/watch soap operas, then this will feel familiar to you. It's how the entire series is laid out. I'm not a fan of soap operas, but if the BDB ever came to TV, I'd be a rapt audience.
So, about this book - #15. *blunt is me*
I didn't like it. I didn't like how the characters acted and reacted. I can't forgive what Qhuinn did. I don't think the resolution was nearly good enough. I didn't like Tohr walking down memory lane nor did I appreciate him going behind the King's back. The new storyline with Trez just sucks. I don't like it at all. Throe's new friend? *eye-roll* I didn't care for V's new dilemma, although at least his I can almost understand. I did love Layla but she had her hands tied behind her back for most of the story. Poor Xcor was like a leaf in the wind, being blown whichever way at random. It was frustrating.
Why am I giving the book 4 stars? Truth is, it would have been five if not for the typos. There's nothing wrong with the book. Just because I don't agree with where Ward took her characters doesn't mean this isn't still a great book. If you're a fan of the BDB like I am, then please read this one too. It features all of our favorites and reveals hints of what's coming up.
