Cute, really enjoyed this one.

Really sweet christmas read. Read it over teo sittings. Loved the setting and the initial meeting was great too.

Really enjoyed this fantastic book. How refreshing to read something that the girl does some of the saving for herself. Plus, books. So many books

Absolutely loved it, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.

The book is a slow burner, I felt like I was just getting into it and wham we are in part 2, and we're not on our 'Earth' anymore. I actually put the book down after reading another couple of chapters as I wasn't really feeling it, but I'm glad that I did pick it back up again.

Sloane is a relatable mc, I really liked her. Her relationships with her fellow chosen ones were complex and interwoven, so when her ebst friend dies, and she's magicked away to another dimension...well, she really has to wake up. The magic system is pretty cool, though I did imagine lots of tweeting the whole time I was reading it. The side characters as a whole were well done, I was a huge fan of Mox from the offset.

The plot isn't particularly fast paced, and I felt that the final big scene was rushed, but overall I enjoyed Chosen Ones, I wouldn't say that its aimed at adults, it reads like young adult, which is fine - I was just expecting a bit more...grit? I'm not sure. I also wasn't particularly thrown by the big reveal...I'd kinda guessed it fairly early on.

I will keep an eye out for the sequel/s as I'm interested enough to find out where she is going to take the story now.

It was good.

I did enjoy it.

But I didn't love it. I really wanted too, but it wasn't her best, in my opinion.

Don't @ me

2022 reread - yeah OK, I liked it better, but it still isn't my favourite.

Stunning conclusion to one of my favourite fantasy series
