Don't get me wrong, I still want Maxon and America to be an item, but at the moment, Aspen is easier to like. And Aspen? I actually liked him more than Maxon. He was lovely, and now he's become that stereotypical jerkwad-selfish-prince. and then I read The Elite, and part of me wishes I could unread it because my opinion of him has shattered. On the subject of teams, I was Team Maxon all the way. Throughout The Selection, Prince Maxon's characterisation was fantastic, and I absolutely adored him. Though, as much as I disliked her, I did feel sorry for her.
Not only did America do this, but she seemed shocked and insulted when one of them found someone else of interest - girl, you can't just expect them to keep waiting on you and treating you like you're a princess! I'm never too fond of characters who are in love triangles and play both people deliberately. Okay, I'll stop it with the 90's sitcom references, but she really was annoying. However, I now just think she's a whiny, spoilt brat, who is in waaaaaay over her head and needs to be sent to her aunt and uncle in Bel Air. Before, she had quite a feisty attitude, which I loved, along with the fact that she never mistreated her maids, remembering that she had once been a low caste like them. But Cass made it a real challenge to like her. I went into reading the novel with a clean slate for America, since it's difficult to read a book where you despise the main character. Now, I don't even think it's love-hate it's just plain ol' hate. Love-hate as in I go through stages of adoring the socks off of her, and then the next wanting to push her off the side of a cliff. Myself and the main protagonist, America, have a love-hate relationship. They are the Elite, and in this book, the stakes are even higher as America tries to decide where her loyalties lie. At the end of the book, every girl has been eliminated, bar six, America included. Of course she is chosen, and throughout the first book, she is put through a number of challenges to try and win Maxon's heart.
WHO WERE THE LAST 3 IN THE ONE BY KIERA CASS TV
She thinks it will be forever, until he breaks up with her and she is entered into the Selection - a TV event where thirty-five girls are picked from the population to compete for the hand of Prince Maxon, future ruler. America Singer is a Five, and although herself and her family sometimes struggle to live, she's happy, because she has her boyfriend, Aspen. I am now left more frustrated than ever.įor those who haven't read The Selection - or can't remember the storyline - the story is set in the a dystopian America, where the population is divided by a caste system, with One's being royalty, and Eight's being the lowest of the low.
I wasn't the biggest fan of The Selection, but I was curious to see how it continued - who would win the heart of Prince Maxon? Would America and Aspen get caught? What were the rebels going to do next? I thought The Elite would answer those questions for me, but nope. This review will most likely contain spoilers. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.Ĭass.what's happened? What have you done?! Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over-and time is running out for America to decide. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share.
When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Iléa.Īmerica still isn’t sure where her heart lies. Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection.
