Chosen Ones follows 5 adults after they were plucked as children to defeat the Dark One and save the world. The book begins 10 years after the Dark Ones defeat and with the death of one of the 5. But the remaining 4 are not free, and are thrust into saving another version of Earth from their Dark One, known as the Resurrectionist. Questions and answers don't connect and things take a surprising turn. 

Chosen Ones follows the POV of Sloane, who is dealing with a lot of emotional trauma from their battle with the Dark One and the choices she made. I really liked how these choices were hinted at through the book, but only came to light toward the end. There was a constant level of mystery to this book, but you could easily guess if you paid enough attention. 

The characters were written well. As you were following Sloane's POV, you related to her thoughts on the other characters and got her feelings, but this didn't alter prejudice towards the other characters feelings, as she always hinted towards them. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and it came to a solid conclusion which leaves me wondering "is there really going to be a sequel?"
