Writing these reviews are always hard for me. I can put in all the standard things like The Unchosen is a phenomenal tale filled with amazing characters and a wonderful world building and I found myself drawn into the story from the opening chapters straight until the ending. There, now that I have that out of the way I can get into what really did it for me: the tremendous escapism the book offered. The best compliment I can pay any story is it's ability to draw me into another world and make me forget about everything else. The Unchosen does that in spades. I am sad that I didn't pick the book up sooner, but I also don't have to wait as long for the next installment. And I will be there for it 100%.

Special Thanks to Laura Huie and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.

The gods have been silent for too long. Humanity is rising up against them, starting with her.

Fia is one of the few chosen by the gods to be bestowed with extremely powerful magic; a master of illusions and portals. Except, anytime she uses magic it causes headaches and she can not make a portal back to Earth.
After a whirlwind encounter with an old friend, she can’t remember, Fia discovers the place she thought was her home is a façade and unearths a land hostile to her. The gods have not spoken to her, and they do nothing to save her as she and her friend, Winston try to reveal the truth about her past. Both want the past for different reasons. She wants her magic back to go home, he wants her to recall who she was and why she should stay. But staying could mean the gods sealing her destiny; to be killed by humanity for a crime she doesn’t remember.

A very cool mix and match up of fantasy and scifi. Both a very unique and interesting premise, I highly enjoyed this quick and fast paced read. I will be looking for more books both in this series and by this author in the future:)
