Few Are Chosen by M T McGuire

5.0

I loved this book and stayed up until almost 5 am to finish it. It is full of humor (dry humor, perhaps?) and action. It is well-written (always a plus for an indie author) and does much to build the world of the K'Barthians and other species that populate this alternate-Earth dimension. The story continues in the next book, which in some ways can be annoying, since this story was not complete in itself. However, in the case of this book, I did not find this a problem, as I would like to read more. The one problem I noted was a lot of information about places and people was included in large chunks (info dumps). This is hard to avoid in this type of novel in order to build the world a little more, but if it was important, it could have been worked into the story a little better. But I enjoyed reading this and would highly recommend it to others.
