Slow start big finish

Chosen one with a hint of Eragon logic. Absolutely beautiful piece of work by Patrick Ness

YA????????

I have always enjoyed a well written YA story and wanted this to be one. We can show affection, find love, find our partner without probing intimate places. Just too much sex for a YA story. The reader was also flat. She does well with normal conversations but shows no emotion when the story becomes tense or exciting.

Good writing, perhaps more adult than YA

I enjoyed this story. The writing is good. Sophisticated ideas and presentation with complex characters. The plot was twisty and the story told well, stumbling only at the end. While there was no detailed sex, and no romance silliness, I wondered why this was in the category for teens/young adult. It seemed to promote an exploration of sexuality. But, times may have changed and I'm possibly stuck in some old-fashioned time warp. The dragon story didn't need the sexuality, but perhaps that's just something in this author's writings. I enjoyed this book but won't pursue any others by this author. The narrator made some obvious flubs that should have been caught by an editor or producer and re-recorded. But, she was very good other than those moments.

Loved the Narrator

My first time listening to a book narrated by Joniece Abbott-Pratt. She was fantastic. She reads with such beautiful emotions. Can’t wait to pick up more books narrated by her.

So good!!

This was such a good read!! Joniece did a fantastic job at changing her voice pitch just enough to tell a difference between all the different adult male characters. That really helped with the tension. The story was awesome too, not usually my type of thing but still very entertaining!
