Chosen Ones (The Aedyn Chronicles)


My Thoughts-

I have always been a fan of fantasy novels and the Chosen Ones reminded me of the Chronicles of Nardia Series. This is definitely a childrens book, and there was no bad parts in the story. The main characters, Peter and Julia have a strong bond, and work together to save Aedyn. The black and white drawings added to the book and made the book more enjoyable. The book was easy to read and the author described the land and the characters well. If you like clean fantasy this is the book for you.
