A review by bbraden
The Chosen by Shay Fabbro, Shay West

2.0

"The Mekans left much as they arrived, their shadows darkening the ruins of a once beautiful and vibrant planet. The noise of their engines, while still stirring up huge clouds of dust, no longer caused discomfort for the people.
There wasn’t anyone left to hear.

The Mekan Fleet threaten all life in the galaxy and only the Chosen can fight these metal monstrosities and save those that call this galaxy home. The Guardians travel to the home worlds of the Chosen, sent by the Masters of Gentra to guide and protect them. But the prophecy that speaks of the Mekan threat says nothing of sending the Guardians to the Chosen before the signs appear. The decision to send them early could doom all in the galaxy to death."

Fabbro has a good premise. The worlds were layered and grand- I got excited. Then the book continued and kept simply building the worlds and characters. Maybe this is the kind of series that you have to commit to reading all of the books to THEN go back and rate the first book? I don't know that I'll be able to make it through a book two...
