I will say that they are both brief reviews and are not nearly as long as this book review will be.
Summary
So like I stated above this is the third and final book in the "Selection Series". I know that many of you have probably read the series already and maybe some of you haven't read the series at all.
I won't spoil anything as always, for any of you out there who might want to read this in the future.I'll give some information as a whole what the series is about.
The series takes place, in the future in what use to be The United States and now is called Illea. In this country, everyone has a number of sorts called "castes" when you are in a "castes" it pretty much limits you to certain jobs you can do, if you will be wealthy and so and so forth.
In comes the competition The Selection! It is a tradition where many different young women both rich and poor get entered into a competition to ultimately "win the princes heart" and become rich and famous during the process.
Enter, our lovely main character America. Unlike most of the other girls in the selection she doesn't really want to be a "princess" in fact she would like nothing more to just marry her "secret boyfriend" Aspen who is a lower caste then she is and live a poor and happy life.
She enters the competition not really wanting to and of course "gets selected" to come to the palace and compete for the young princes heart.
Through out the series, there is a bit of a love triangle going on between Aspen, her first love and Maxton the Prince.
The series is almost like the bachelor really, only the winner becomes and princess. There are lots of twists and turns along the way in the series.
Especially, in this last book. There are so many unexpected things that happen in the book! I won't say much because I really don't want to give too much away.
Review
This was such a great book! I absolutely loved this book! I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
I really decided to read the first book in the series on a whim and I have really enjoyed the entries series as a whole.
I think Kiera Casss, did an excellent job bringing the series to a close. She gave us readers exactly what we wanted from the start. (I won't say what but you all can probably guess)
Spoiler alert, if you don't want to know skip reading this part!
I was saddened, of course by many of the events in the series! So many deaths. :( I was happy to see Celeste change her colors in the end and become friends with America of course it would have been nice to see her at the wedding so sad!
It was awful when, Queen Amberly and America's Father passed away as well. The wedding scene was very cute as well and very much enjoyed reading it!
I like how Lucy and Aspen ended up together in the end too! (Though I must admit it was bitter sweet and of course I was always Team Maxton all the way)
I also, enjoyed the meeting some of the rebels and seeing them work together with American and Maxton.
I was pretty surprised that Kriss was rebel all along! I did not see that coming.
Some parts, I was so mad at Maxton! So freaking, indecisive when obviously he wants America! Like how he was going to choose Kriss instead! Come on man noooooo!
Read Here, no more spoilers.
I have checked out some other review for the book and I do think some parts were a bit rushed but like I said I do think this was a good ending.
So much was going on in this book, not to say that nothing happened in the others but at some points it felt "off balance" in comparison to the other books in the series.
I am sad that series is over because I really enjoyed this series! I hope maybe in the future this series could turn into a movie or a tv series. I would love that but then again I might hate who they pick for America.(That always happens in series when there go from book to tv or movie to me any way)
Defiantly, check this series out if you already haven't such a great book series!
