Chosen Sister isn't just another (yawn) Chosen One fantasy. Ardyth DeBruyn turns the trope upside down and gives it a few shakes along the way.
That's part of what makes this a wonder YA fantasy. Ardyth is an excellent writer that carries you along page after page until you reach the end of the book and are surprised at how fast you got there, and how easy it was to just keep reading. That's what makes a good book of any genre. Are you reluctant to put it down? There you go.

It was a nice story, but I'm a little out of the intended age group and couldn't truly enjoy it. I still liked the twists and turns and the world was fun and inventive. I'd recommend this book to children ages 8-12 or even a bit older.
