I KNEW IT. I FREAKING KNEW IT. JAYME! MOTHERFU—

I’m always skeptical about spin offs. I never want to attach myself to a new protagonist after having fallen in love with a previous protagonist that I invested so much time in. In this case, I still love Vi as much as I love Vhalla....

Chosen Champion really took this book in the direction I wanted/needed it to. I was fearful that Elise wouldn’t necessarily do certain things that I wanted her to; progress the romance, let Vi leave the continent, etc. but she DID!! She did it. And I couldn’t be more satisfied. 👏👏

This installment also brought with it a lot of nostalgia. Hearing about Daniel and LEARNING WHO JAYME REALLY WAS— also listening to their knowledge of the Mad King and all the past of the events—was both nostalgic and just mind blowing. AND OF COURSE VHALLA RETURNS. YESSSSS. Even if it was for a little while, I hope we do see more of her though, as well as Aldrick who I LAAAAV.

I will say I thought the death of Jayme was a little downplayed considering her betrayal was huge (maybe that’s just me?) but it didn’t take away from the story at all or my rating. I still enjoyed this IMMENSELY.

I will simply say that this installment was GREAT and a perfect reminder of why I am so invested in Elise’s books.

GIVE ME FAILED FUTURE PLSSSSSSS. 💕
