Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth
5.0

WOW. This book was a huge surprise for me.

I was super excited to read this book; the synopsis completely grabbed my attention and the short excerpt that was released with the cover totally hooked me. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for this story of a group of chosen ones after they’ve saved humanity.

Part one was exactly what I was expecting from this novel, exactly what I wanted. And I absolutely loved it. I was glued to the pages, learning about Sloane and her gang and how they’re all dealing and coping after their world-saving shenanigans. I loved seeing how their chosen one journey unfolded.

Then I hit part two. And it all changed, it was different than what I was expecting, wanting, from this book. I was leery, I was hesitant, I was curious. But despite all of that, I kept reading. Because I simply couldn’t put this book down. Even as I was hesitant, I kept reading because I had to. And within just a few pages, I was hooked all over again and loving this new route the book took, even though it was something I wasn’t necessarily wanting when it started.

I LOVED it. Really loved it. I loved the characters, the past story, the present story, the plot, the world, the strange directions the book ended up taking, the messages, the journeys, the development. It was so freaking good. I can’t wait to see where the sequel takes us.
