The Chosen One, (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is Veronica Roth's first novel written specifically for adults. I requested to review on Netgalley, with little hope, because these big authors usually have hard requirements to meet on Netgalley to review...but to my amazement I was accepted! I couldn't wait to dive in.
Five teenagers have been prophesied to defeat an enemy that is ravaging the world. Years later our main character Sloane cannot seem to find her place in the world. She doesn't mold well with the new celebrity lifestyle that has been thrust upon her and is now without a purpose. Parallel worlds, zombies, magic, an impending apocalypse...this book has everything. The plot takes several twists and turns and keeps you from closing the book and getting some sleep! I know this is not supposed to be a YA book, but honestly it kind of felt like one to me (not a bad thing). The relationship backstories and developments are solid. I did figure out some of the twists, but not others so it was suspenseful enough. Overall I really liked this read and would recommend it to anyone who likes dystopian. The next book in the series cannot come out soon enough!
A copy of this book was provided to me for review by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
