Publisher's Summary

It is said that when war threatens the world, one individual will be selected by prophecy to lead the Shadow Warriors out of the Land of Mist and reclaim the freedom that has been stolen.

Shanti has grown up under the constant threat of war. Since she helped her people defeat a raiding party by using a special power, she's been a hunted woman. Carrying rare abilities and an uncanny fighting aptitude, Shanti is the only hope of salvation for her people. The problem is, she doesn't believe in her own divinity, and when she flounders, she nearly fails in the duty hanging so heavy on her shoulders.

It seems like any other day when Sanders and his band of misfit boys find a foreign woman clinging to life in the wastelands. Oblivious to the weapon they now have in their possession, they are content to harbor the mysterious woman until she is well enough to continue her journey. But when the war spreads its arms and lands on her borrowed doorstep, Shanti has no choice but to reveal her secrets, plunging her saviors into danger. If they band with her, they will face certain death. But to trade her to Xandre, the warlord desperate to add her to his war machine, would be to give up their entire way of life.

War is coming. The only question is this: Which side do you choose?

Pretty good series

*Don't worry, no spoilers*
This has been a really good series to read/listen to.
Here are some of the things I liked:
- kick ass main character that has some trouble with speaking the language (which I always found hilarious)
- characters are fun and easy to listen to (there's no character that I didn't like)
- overall keeps you on your toes and doesn't follow an easily anticipated plot (aside from the title of the book)

Some things I didn't like:
- the author chose some names that sound really similar, making it difficult to remember who the story is talking about
- the title of the book pretty much tells you all that's going to happen in the story. Yes there's lots of plot twists leading up to the title but the title nonetheless tells you how far in the overall story the book is going to take you.

Chosen is intriguing, witty and intense

A protagonist who is almost precisely her own worst enemy is very difficult to write, but surround her with interesting characters as Breene has, and you have me hooked.

Davies’ rendering of these characters is insightful: she breathes life into every one.

I look forward to listening on.

Good story

Enjoyed the plot. I get why main character was self pitying. But it got annoying a little. The reader was mediocre, I had to turn to 1.2x as it was soooo slow. Much better at 1.2.

Good, but the heroine is annoying

There's a lot to like here.... other than the main character. Just when you think she's evolving and becoming more than an emotional child, she regresses and becomes infuriating.

Outstanding

I loved reading this book the first time, and listening it to it was even better! The story is amazing. The characters and world are exceptional. I laugh out loud at Shanti's interactions with her Honour guard. The performance was amazing. I loved the reader. She really made the characters come alive and made Shanti's reactions so much more funny.

Epic Heroine & Legacy Journey

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and character development. I’m eager to start the next book in the series.
My only disappointment is the way in which the story is read, the monotonous tone & expression makes it hard to follow when the story is being narrated versus when a character is speaking. More dimension between the characters voices would help me to identify more quickly with who is speaking & able to visualize the vibe of dialogue.

Not a great audio

Unfortunately I found this audio difficult to listen to... Very monotone for the most part.
I still listened all the way through but it definitely lacked something.

Also I had trouble getting all of the characters straight in my mind something that doesn't normally happen.

book had potential but misses the mark

First of all, the narration is horrible. The narrator makes nearly all the characters sound like they don't have much of a personality, almost like a bunch of Mr Darcys. secondly, the author doesn't spend nearly enough time world building. There are a few snippets here and there, but not nearly enough, and they don't happen until too far into the book. We're not given a good idea of how many nations there are or the larger sociopolitical landscape. The characters don't feel fully fleshed out and I wasn't able to feel drawn in to the characters and their emotions. I still feel like I know nothing about Shanti, what are her interests or hobbies? What was her family like? Her friends? Even when she discusses Romy it's not in much detail. We know he was nice, he sacrificed himself, and had beautiful brown eyes. That's about it. It just feels like the editor should have taken another pass at the book, because it does feel like it has a lot of potential, it's just needs more work.
