Chosen Ones (Roth) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[A] successful adult debut.… Roth handles heavy topics, including mental health and racism, with great care, and once the story picks up, readers will be delighted by both the magical adventure and the diverse cast. This is a thoughtful, well-crafted twist on a genre staple.
Publishers Weekly



[The] novel is driven by Sloane,who… doesn’t truly understand her full power until the shocking ending. Those who like twisty power plays and very detailed worldbuilding will appreciate this…  [The Chosen Ones] features magic, lots of sarcasm, and a hint of romance.
Booklist


(Starred review) [I]t makes sense that [Roth] can so expertly deconstruct [YA] tropes for adult audiences. There’s a lot of magic and action to make for a propulsive plot, but much more impressive are the character studies…. Roth makes a bold entrance to adult fantasy.
