Viki’s review: Chosen one by Scarlett Dawn

The next book in the best-selling Forever Evermore series as Caro goes where no spirit elemental has gone before…

When Philip Masterson sends Caro back in time, he doesn’t expect to set off a series of events that will see her return stronger and more powerful than ever before. But her time spent with the Prodigies, Kings, and Elders in the nineties has long-reaching consequences that no one could have foreseen, consequences that increase tensions between the Mystical leadership when peace is needed.

Then Caro discovers something that changes the entire trajectory of her life, and finds herself torn: between the man she loves and the man who could mean everything, and the life that she’s chosen and the life that she was born to lead.

My thoughts:

I received a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Chosen one is FINALLY here! I’m so happy, when I saw that I got approved for the ARC I started to jump up and down in the sofa, you can imagine how my sister looked at me after that. But really, I was looking forward to this one since I finished the previous which was 2 days after that one came out. That cliffhanger was killing me but not anymore.

Chosen one starts right at the moment Chosen fool ended, with a big realization that who is the individual she slept with. And boy does this cause trouble and complications for little Caro. Safe to say that that the story just gets even more complex after this.
The plot predictable starts with a huge BAM! but what you need to know that Chosen one is completely different from the previous two books. As the storyline goes there are plenty of action still but the main focus still on Caro romantic life or here or there the lack of it. What I really loved in this that emotional wise it up to par with King hall, which so far none of the other books in the series could produce. First it gives you hope, then everything break apart and our heart go through an emotional mince. It hurts so good that for me simply that would have been enough to love the book. Thankfully she even ends up with the character I rooted for, maybe with not the best circumstances but in the end things go well for them.

Caro started to show her tender and vulnerable side even in Chosen fool but in this one this side of her truly shines. Sure her snarky, sarcastic and badass self also shows up when needed but it’s mostly the lonely girl who no matter what she does somehow ends up with the short end of the stick. A lot of her insecurities also come out. I liked this side of her to and what I liked even more was the graceful way she handled her hardship, of course after a short crazy binge.

As for the secondary characters, there were quite a few of them. Manly the Elders and Kings but honestly after the long time between the books it was a bit hard for me to follow who is who. But anyway I think that it’s strange how little their presence actually felt overall when they are there the whole way. Maybe because there are too much of them at once. Also the current kings and queens and even the prodigies are not as important, they kinda pushed into the background and I missed them a bit. With the current prodigies there isn’t the kind of dynamism that I loved in King hall, but since Caro story has a different focus maybe its better this way.

Not to mention finally we get a full insight into the secrets and lives of the elusive spirit elementals. So far in the previous books we only got little snippets here and there but Chosen one gives a full disclosure and it really great to finally get to know what Caro role is in reality, what hare her powers.

I freaking loved this book there are so many in your face surprises and 180° turns that it gives a phenomenal flow to the plot. You definitely won’t be bored even for a minute. The only thing that I didn’t quite understood the meaning, the significance behind the final chapter. Or at least I hope I misunderstood it because I don’t want it to go down that particular path.
