I read it in about a day because I just couldn’t stop myself from reading. It was a pretty unexpectedly emotional read for me. So I’m pretty happy about the way this book ended. Speaking of Aspen… *spoiler alert* I’m so glad he’s not left off to be alone and that he found someone. Especially America to Maxon, concerning her earlier relationship with Aspen. I feel like it could’ve been avoided if only they’d been honest about their feelings. I have to say that some of the drama earlier on in this book between America and Maxon annoyed me a bit. We got more insight into the rebels, both north and south and I loved the little twists with America’s father and Kriss also. I’m a girl who needs action in her books to stop it from being completely boring so I was really content in that area. There was also more action in this book than was in the previous or even the first one. Well, maybe Kriss did a little bit but I even came to like Celeste, believe it or not.
Also the other girls didn’t annoy me nearly as much as they did before. I’m not saying I love him (like I did in the first book) but he wasn’t as bad I thought. I also didn’t think Maxon wasn’t as much of an ass in this book. I love her spunk and how she always tried to do the right thing even when people tell her to not do it. Of course my love for her went down a notch in the previous book but now I’m back to liking her. I’ve always liked America as a character and heroin in this series. It made things a whole lot better, much to my relief. It had a lot to do with the fact that in this book America wasn’t running back and forth between Aspen and Maxon. So you can understand my surprise that I actually liked The One. I must admit I didn’t have high expectations for this book, thinking it would be just as bad or even worse than The Elite.
I liked what happened in the book and I really liked the ending. It was much better than The Elite and I liked it. I didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it either.
From absolutely loving The Selection to having The Elite be one of the worst books I read.
THE NORTH STAR FROM THE ONE BY KIERA CASS SERIES
This series has been very up and down for me. and she’s prepared to fight for the future she wants.įind out who America will choose in The One, the enchanting, beautifully romantic third book in the Selection series! Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen–and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. The Selection changed America Singer’s life in ways she never could have imagined. The One is the perfect finale for fans who have followed America’s whirlwind romance since it began–and a swoon-worthy read for teens who have devoured Veronica Roth’s Divergent, Ally Condie’s Matched, or Lauren Oliver’s Delirium. The highly anticipated conclusion to Kiera Cass’s #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series, The One will captivate readers who love dystopian YA fiction and fairy tales. I can't really say I will miss America, but maybe Kiera Cass can just write a series of novellas entitled, "Prince Maxon says really romantic stuff to Flo all day long." You'd buy that, right?!?īOOK REVIEW: Lightning In My Wake (The Lightning S.Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | Kobo All in all, I am quite satisfied with how the trilogy concluded. This book was a fast read - I finished it on a nonstop flight to New York. On the one hand, I absolutely hate the idea of a. Just like with the rest of the books in the series, I had almost a morbid fascination and obsession with The One. I will forever swoon over Maxon Schreave!! A few interesting revelations were made about who people were and I didn't see any of them coming. Now, in The One, Kiera Cass delivers a satisfying and unforgettable conclusion that will keep readers sighing over this electrifying fairy-tale long after the final page is turned. He and America had some super sweet romantic scenes in this book, and being the word nerd that I am, the prince said some things that made me weak in the knees. August is a direct descendant of the country’s founder, Gregory Illa, but is not interested in taking the crown. In his absence, northern rebel leaders August Illa and his fiance, Georgia Whitaker, come to the palace at night and request an audience with Maxon and America. She was a little better, but how can she continue to doubt what is time and time again proven true? At least in this book she wasn't wishy washy - she knew what she wanted.most of the time. The king leaves the country unexpectedly. So remember how after I finished reading The Elite, I didn't really like America? Well, I'm sad to report that I didn't like her much more in this book.
