À propos de cet audio

The Chosen introduces the first book in the Contender trilogy, an epic young adult fantasy from Taran Matharu, author of the New York Times best-selling Summoner series.

Throughout history, people have vanished with no explanation. A group of teenagers are about to discover why.

Cade is settling into a new boarding school, contemplating his future, when he finds himself transported to another realm. He soon discovers their new world is populated with lost remnants from the past: prehistoric creatures, ancient relics, and, stranger still - people. Overwhelmed by his new surroundings, Cade has little time to adjust, for soon he and his fellow classmates are forced to become contenders in a brutal game, controlled by mysterious overlords.

But who are these beings, and why did they choose these teens? Cade must prepare for battle...because hiding is not an option. Fans of fantasy and LitRPG will welcome this new character and world from the author of the Summoner series.

I have just finished listening to this as a fan of The Summoner Series. I feel like the narrator wasn't the best choice for this book. However that does not take away from the overall experience.

Part A The Story
I love the world building that this author creates. The summoner series made such a big and intriguing world to explore, this book is no different. The beginning felt a bit strange with some time jumping back and forth. Once you get past the confusion and are dropped in to a life and death situation, things get interesting. you begin to uncover strange secrets on an even stranger planet. It brings out a nice twist to a very good adventure. Overall the story is a bit predictable at times but very enjoyable.

Part B The Narration
I would like to start this part by saying, the narrator is not a bad narrator just that he wouldn't be my choice. This narrator is good at what he does but, sometimes I felt that the emotion wasn't being carried through. most of the time he did a good job but there where times that I was taken out of the story.

Overall Good Book Interesting Story
