A review by jocelyn_n
The Viking's Chosen by Quinn Loftis

fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I want to start by saying that I am interested in continuing this series (whenever that may be), simply to know what happens next. That being said, it didn’t hold my interest enough for me to want to reread this book any time soon. I liked that it was a quick and easy read, and the plot was interesting enough. A lot of the plot felt too smooth for my taste, specifically with the actions that Torben and Allete take throughout the book. For example, Torben and his kinsman, Brant, are able to enter the castle and become the guards of Allete while wearing magical (and very convenient) disguises. The plot armor is quite strong with the main characters, haha. Now, because it is the first in a series, there’s potential for growth and improvement in the characters and the series as a whole. So, who knows, my opinion might change as I read more of the series.
