About this listen

The mega-selling author of the Divergent franchise delivers her masterful first novel for adults

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice - catastrophic events known as Drains - leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him.

After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal...for everyone but them. After all, what do you do when you’re the most famous people on Earth, your only education was in magical destruction, and your purpose in life is now fulfilled?

Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting. Everyone else blames the PTSD - and her huge attitude problem - but really, she’s hiding secrets from them...secrets that keep her tied to the past and alienate her from the only four people in the world who understand her.

On the 10th anniversary of the Dark One’s defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark One’s ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold - bigger than the world itself. And this time, fighting back might take more than Sloane has to give.

Chosen Ones is performed by Dakota Fanning and features the voices of Veronica Roth, Victor Bevine, Gabriel Vaughan, Isabel Keating, Robin Miles, Kevin T. Collins, Vikas Adam, L.J. Gasner, Richard Ferrone, Carly Robins, Flynn Earl Jones, Emily Bauer, Kyla Garcia, David Shih, Edoardo Ballerini, Natasha Soudek, and Amy McFadden.

This was such a slow burn for me. It started off ok, got boring, got good, then boring, and I wasn’t a fan of the ending. Quite disappointed:(

Not great

Veronica Roth is awesome as always! She’s got such a unique imagination that it sets her apart from any other author I know. Perhaps her greatest skill is her intimate descriptiveness of fine details throughout her narrative, so that the reader feels like they’re right there, immersed amongst the characters.
I also thought Dakota Fanning was a great choice for lead narrator & did an outstanding performance.

Veronica Roth is awesome as always!

bit anticlimactic

Not worth the time to read this. Not her best novel. Stand alone is a plus.

Slow first half- dumb ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

this book was slow and hard to get into to. I did eventually get into it, but was then let down by the climax. Without going into spoilers the 'motive' behind the bad guy didn't make sense at all. Spent forever trying to do something only apparently he was after the exact opposite? I actually Googled it after to see if anyone had explained it but alas I couldn't find it. the book wasn't awful, but it definitely wasn't great.

Disappointing
