One dose is all it takes to become immortal.
Every year, a lottery is held for the hard-working people of Lutum.
The prize? Eternal life.
And everyone wants it. Well, everyone except for 17-year-old Silverstasia Blackwood. She doesn't think it's fair that the rich get to live luxurious lives while the people of Lutum are enslaved, forced to work hard every day to support the immortals.
When something unexpected happens during this year's annual lottery, Silver makes a bold move that surprises everyone.
Now, everything is about to change.

Not for me

That said, Silver drove me to the edge of insanity. I almost gave up listening 3 or 4 times. The overall plot itself is what kept me going. While the narrator did fine, I'm unsure whether her delivery helped make Silver so annoying (because I think it might have emphasized how clueless Silver was... about anything and everything). Silver had to be the dumbest main character in all the many, many books I've read (or listened to) which made her unlikeable. That fact alone would've kept me from going any further with the series, except for the reviews of the second installment of The Immortal Ones, which assures Silver isn't nearly as annoying or clueless in book 2. Therefore, since I'm curious just how Silver and the camp of girls training to take on Olympus (sorry if it's misspelled; I listened rather than read the book) will fare, I'm gonna give it a shot.
So, here's the deal. If you can handle a main character who stupidly questions literally everything... for example (and I may be paraphrasing by a word or two): 'maybe I shouldn't have asked,' or 'maybe I shouldn't have done that,' et al. No duh! How many times were you told not to ask or not to do that?! ... then I would recommend 'Chosen'. However, if you can't abide seriously clueless main characters (even though they are supposedly destined for great things), you might want to give this book a pass.
Plot: Good. Main character: Not so much.
