What are some of your favorite tropes in books?
💙
One of mine is "the chosen one"!
I know some are fed up with this but not me or at least not yet 😏
Especially when there is such an interesting spin to the story as Chosen Ones by Veroncia Roth!
.
Review : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2
.
I struggled with the beginning of the story.
.
We get “dumped” into a new world, Earth post dark One. The elements to understand the past events, how the characters happened to be chosen and how they mastered magic are interwoven into the story. It took a while for the plot to find its direction.
.
As a result, I needed some time to get my footing into the story.
BUT
Once we get into the heart of the matter, once Sloane, our main character, is forced to raise to the occasion… she shed all pretense and I was ALL IN!
.
In addition to the “slow to be revealed plot”, the book was not easy to read as the main character, Sloane, is surrounded by barbed wires. Veronica Roth took the time to flesh out her characters, to give them a true substance. No Sloane was not your happy/bubbly heroine. No, she was not pretending to care what others thought about her. Yes, she had foul moods and panic attacks.
.
Véronica Roth took the time to set her story but she amazed me with her theories, her dystopian universe. For as much as I struggled to love Sloane, I am very pleased that she was a flawed and rough character. Because once she was in her element, we got to see the true Sloane, no mask, no pretense and I love that kick@ss girl!
.
Cherry on top, I love the “chosen ones” trope and this had a very unexpected and nice twist to it! You can also expect action, magic, unstable characters, destruction and of course, a villain!
.
Many thanks to the @hodderbooks for sending me this finished copy!
