Chosen was a great introduction to this series. It eased you into the world of the Realms and introduced you to its history of Light vs Dark very nicely. It is a rich world with a lot going on. Witches and Vampires have been warring for centuries - each chosing a side and fighting til death. When the Chosen is prophesied, a witch with unimaginable powers, everyone begins to watch for her - each with their own reasons. I wasn't a big fan of the Chosen, Kaitriana (although I love her name). While I enjoyed her banter and her fun-loving attitude, there were times she carried it too far. Jorcan was a little too serious - he needed to lighten up a bit. Their story was a great romance though - a true opposites attract and love conquers all.
