review 1: I absolutely loved this book! Kate Johnson has an amazing ability to create fantasy worlds that are so believable you feel you are there with the characters. There is no effort involved in learning about these new places, the information is seamlessly woven into the story, which makes it a joy to read. Romance, adventure and humour are blended with emotion, despair and magic. I fell in love with the larger than life warlord Kael and wanted to stay with him and Ishtaer among their people. I really hope there is a sequel planned because I’m now longing to read a lot more about the Chosen!
review 2: I really liked this one. I would not call it fantasy romance, because yes there were romance but far at the end. Too many issues before that. So light romantic ... morefantasy, something ;) Cos it sure is not epic fantasy either, not with the whole will they wont they going on.I liked the world, and the sprinkle of norse words here and there did make it cool. And it does show the difference between places in this world. First, the Chosen are those with a mark of a Healer, a warrior or a Seer and they learn their trade so to say at a school. Kael is a warrior and now a feared pirate, warlord, but he does it in service of his Emperor. So he is a good guy. Sure he says some wrong things when he first meets poor Ishtear, but he could not even imagine what she has been through.Ishtaer our heroine, wow, some of the more damaged heroines of late. I did like how it was portrayed, she was broken, she was timid, after years of abuse you do not just snap out of it. Not if you are that broken. So it takes time. Sure she learns the ways fast after it, but hey if you got it you got it. I guess that is how the Chosen work. So I looked through my fingers with that.The romance comes late. A slow friendship, getting to know each other, living their own lives. The romance is not the focus, no, she needs to find herself. He needs to learn that everyone can't be protected. My thoughts:Magic, fighting, a cool world, I do feel that Kate Johnson needs to write about other people in this world. She is on to something here. less
