Ted Dekker is a rather
well-known Christian thrill author and this was my second book by him
that I had read. The first one that I had read was Immanuel's Veins
(read that review here, and I didn't really like that story.
Chosen
is the first of the Lost series, which is part of the Circle
collection. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the rest
of the series.
The story follows the adventures of
Johnis, who is the chosen one - one who will lead the Forest Guard and
forest dwellers in victory against the Horde, the Scabs who are
controlled by the evil Teelah.
I really enjoyed how
Dekker has set up his world and how his characters developed. A mystery
unfolds as we learn that Johnis's success lies not in battle, but in
gathering six lost books of history, which hold the power to change the
world. He must convince his three other friends (who at first, don't
like him at all nor wish to be his friends), Silvie, Billos, and Darsal,
to help him go toward evil's fortress and rescue one of the lost books.
Overall,
I heartily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy, mystery,
and adventure. My only warning is that it can get dark, but the power of
good over evil shines through.
