The Chosen is beautifully written using descriptive words throughout the story drawing the reader into the story and gripping on tight and not letting them go until the last word. Author Kristin Clark writes with a maturity that is breathtaking especially discovering that this is her first published novel.Chloe wakes up on her 18th birthday to a package from her best friend, Kim. what is in the package  Chloe will find out later on in the story was suppose to find her. Upon waking up on her birthday, Chloe realizes she has faster reflexes, keen hearing and isn't as average as she has always felt. Once arriving at school she finds that she has become the subject of interest, not only with her teachers but with several of the popular kids at school.  Fast forward.... Chloe finds out she is the "chosen one" of five other descendants from the Originals and will have to learn to control her new elemental powers so she can keep everyone safe from harm.The Chosen is a great mixture of characters personalities. Chloe has a great standalone personality and very likable in the story. She is that typical teenager that walks through the halls unnoticed and then one day goes from nobody to somebody and has to deal with the new attention she does not really understand or like for that matter. The other descendants (characters) are Nathan, Heather, Sean, Olivia and Ethan; they are all strong characters and are very individualistic throughout the story, however, are very complementary to Chloe's character. The two characters that are not part of the descendants are Drake the mysterious sexy fella that has a little edge to him and Aden the evil sorcerer that wants nothing more than to have the chosen's power for himself.True feelings: I think The Chosen was a well-written, extremely descriptive story about a young girl that is thrust into knowledge of new powers, learning how to use them to save herself and those that she has come to rely on, befriend and love.  The Chosen is full of magic, thrilling adventure, descriptive scenery, first loves with a questionable character and long lasting friendships. I can't wait for the opportunity to be able to read the rest of the series and see what author Kristin Clark has up her sleeve.
