Obsessed with this story, love where it is going and excited to find out where it is headed and how it will conclude. The whole concept of a foreign rule taking over and their forced recruitments for labor or companions and a rebel cause willing to fight back against stronger opponents is intriguing.
Amelissa ‘Lissa’ is from the region Caldiri, one of the poorest on the continent and most secluded and uninformed of the foreign invaders the Draek, working as the towns Healer and trying to avoid attention so as to not be picked during recruitment week to live in the capital and be separated from her only family members. A charming, caring, strong female lead dedicated to helping others in need. After the unthinkable happens Lissa works hard to keep herself with those who share the same fate as her once their lives are turned upside down. Upon adjusting to her new life Lissa begins to understand that the things she thought she knew of the Draek are false and not as they seem but still something doesn’t feel right and Lissa is determined to unfold the truth that has been evading her for so long before her loved ones suffer the ultimate consequence of defying the Draek’s rule.
Humans have been conquered by dragons. Now they are ruled by them and they must serve. The dragons flaunt their power and there is nothing that the humans can do about it. Lissa is a healer and all her life she has been told about the cruelty of the dragons. Now she is called to serve them directly. This story will follow her as she begins to learn a different story about these creatures.
Chosen is an engaging story but one that has familiar storylines that I have read in other books. This doesn’t detract from my overall enjoyment totally but it is a bit of a downer. I wanted more. The characters are engaging, but there are moments of where I just wanted more. Lissa has some moments of where I wanted to shake her. She’s a smart woman, but I just want her to make her own decisions about the things that she has been told.
I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. I’m hoping that the next book in this series will engage me more and have more depth.
This book was great! I was immediately hooked from the first page! So much action and adventure! And the cover is just stunning! I can’t wait to read more of this authors work!
Dragons and Fairies and Ogres “Oh my”
An absolutely fantastic journey!
This is one of those authors who seems to have the magic touch – you know, the one that spins fantasy and reality into a tale that is so believable you forget that you are reading a story?
I do not know how many times I caught myself sitting up and gripping the edge of the couch – anxious and hoping – or screaming at the characters for their obviously two-sided uncaring attitude (yeah so not telling you, nice try though) or drying the quiet tears that tracked down my cheek.
This is told from Lissa’s point of view – at first, I had a bit of trouble with it just being her tale (pov) – It may have been that the twists and surprises were truly just that – since I was seeing through her eyes only – and let may say there are a lot of twists and “OMG” moments throughout this story
I do not want to give away any spoilers – I went into this semi-blind – so it was twice as fascinating to see the truth unfold and be truly surprised when we turned the corner on a plot twist or a character was not quite what or whom we thought
Speaking of, the characters are phenomenal – they are vivid and full of life
I am done ranting, in closing -If you love a strong paranormal tale with lots of action, plenty of hidden plots and twists – then this is definitely a must read
I am off to finish the journey with book two – I hope it is out already
* It is not often I give five stars – but this was such an intense and well-crafted story. Nothing is perfect mind you – but if you enjoy paranormal and mystery with a touch of intrigue then this is a must read
I really enjoyed reading this book. Lissa is a healer in the poor area where she grew up. When both she and her little sister are initiated to serve the Draekon, they think everything is about to fall apart. If you are a fan of dystopian books like The Hunger Games, this book might be for you. If you are a fan of dragons, I would also recommend this book. The interaction of the healer with the royal family definitely starts the rumor mill churning at full force…and there are surprises around every corner in this book. I look forward to reading book 2 when it is released.
THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND!!!
I’m just gonna put it out there. I really enjoyed this page turning bombshell. It delivers a strong storyline that will rock your world. It hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. Ms. Britt shows us exactly who she is with the exceptional talent she’s displayed here. She pulls you into her imagination and weaves a world around you until everything else ceases to exist. With this steady paced, suspense filled, nerve racking tale she has created for our enjoyment as she carries us along for one exciting ride. The characters are realistic, intriguing and believable. As individual personalities created for interesting roles as they transform before your eyes. Vividly detailed scenes and an engaging plot add dementions that make for an impressing backdrop. Twists and turns abound with unexpected surprises that keep your full attention on the pages as the story unfolds. Ms. Britt did an incredible job bringing this read together flawlessly. Remarkable job Ms. Britt, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
This is book one in the new series Curse of the Draekon.I enjoyed this book another hit from a great author .The book was hard to put down the story line great as well as the characters. Family friends action adventure and dragons.
Well … I never … paid attention, that this novel is but ONE book of three. Argh … and the story is so good it just envelops the reader. So needless to say the story keeps the reader humming with fantasy, action, adventure, mystery, betrayal, secrets, sadness and some mild romance. There are many subplots. A very intricately woven tale. The main female character is a very stoic and strong-willed person who places family above all else. The main male character was not easily identified for this reader until closer to the end of the book. I can hardly wait for book two … can you tell from my review?
Excellent! Well done Ms. Britt!
I received an advance review copy of this novel and I am leaving an honest review.
Fantasy and romance collide in this page-turner!
