Chosen Ones
by Veronica Roth
I couldn’t put this book down.
I loved the premise of a story about the heroes ten years after defeating the baddie and seeing how they’re thriving - or not in many cases.
Sloane is awesome purely because she’s an MC who isn’t really all that likeable to everyone around her. She’s antagonistic, selfish, taciturn and anti-social; the best thing is, she knows it too. Sloane has no illusions that she is a hero and doesn’t let it get to her head - unlike certain others, ahem, Matt.
It also infuriated me that everyone gets mad at Sloane instead of seeing just how much she’s hurting and struggling with PTSD.
The magical systems were really interesting and I enjoyed how history and backstory were given through government files and memos rather than frequent flashbacks.
I love Mox. That’s all I have to say.
I did wonder a lot about a certain character who just disappeared. I kept expecting them to somehow pop up with some convoluted story. I’m hoping that this will be brought up and explained in the next book.
I’m really excited that there is another one because I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters or this world just yet.
I thoroughly enjoyed Veronica Roth’s first venture into NA and I would highly recommend it if your a fan of magic, superheroes, prophecies and curmudgeonly awesome characters.
