Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth
The Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling adult debut from Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent. They were the Chosen Ones. Saving the world made them heroes. Saving it again might destroy them.
This dark, complex novel rocked my heart and left me with a renewed sense that saving the world is a job that never endsYou'll never look at fantasy heroes the same way again * Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo & Nebula Award winning author of ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY *
A hugely-imagined, twisty, turning tale that leads through the labyrinths of magic and war to the center of the heart * Diana Gabaldon, author of Go Tell the Bees that I am Gone from the New York Times best-selling Outlander series *
Roth has pulled off a virtuoso performance, conjuring a stunning thriller/fantasy/sci-fi chimera like nothing I've read before, a story of ex-heroes struggling with the trauma of their past, what it means to have once saved the world, and the dark side of destiny * Blake Crouch, bestselling author of DARK MATTER and RECURSION *
With Chosen Ones, Veronica Roth keeps you guessing: playing with perception, multiverse theory, and the struggles that go along with being 'chosen' to save the world . . . She's created a universe that you never want to leave * Amber Benson, author of The Witches of Echo Park *
An insightful exploration of desire and ambition that also touches on broader societal topics, including celebrity, social media, trauma and recovery * Charles Yu, bestselling author of INTERIOR CHINATOWN *
There's a lot of magic and action to make for a propulsive plot, but much more impressive are the character studies as Roth takes recognizable and beloved teen-hero types and explores what might happen to them as adults. Roth makes a bold entrance to adult fantasy. * Kirkus, Starred Review *
Complex and hard-hitting . . . amazingly written * Rache's Rambling Reviews *
Billed as her first novel for adults, the latest super-readable book by the author of the Divergent series sets out to show that Superheroes have Come of Age . . . [A] breezy, sharply characterized take on what superheroes do after their final battle * The Times *
A thoroughly engrossing read. Sloane is a wonderfully surly protagonist, her teammates are all vividly drawn, the dialogue is a lot of fun and the central mysteries bubble along intriguingly * SFX *
A skilled storyteller, Roth examines issues of racism and responsibility in a well-plotted supernatural thriller * The Guardian *
Roth offers the reader transportation to a rich, well thought out, magical world that also deals with more adult themes around mental health, death, and loss * The Nerd Daily *
Original and very creative * ThatBookGal Blogs *
I, for one, cannot wait to discover what's next for our Chosen Ones * The Book Wraiths Nook *
A thrilling mix of fantasy and sci-fi by the Divergent writer * The Sun *
