Chosen

Johnis, a forest dweller, is unexpectedly appointed to the Forest Guard after an epic intro scene. A quest with three comrades to further prove their merits in their new positions soon escalates to more dire and weighty challenges. I always appreciate stories of unlikely heroes. I found myself liking the main character at some points and at other times finding him rather annoying, but that made him all the more relatable / human. I enjoyed listening to this book and look forward to the rest of the audiobooks in this series and to seeing how things work out for the characters.
