I’m surprised to find that I don’t mind the way the world-building and the politics of the series have played out. She’s the one character I really want to know more about. I’m quite excited about reading the just-announced prequel novella about Amerbely’s time at her own Selection, titled The Queen. She gives America some amazing advice in this book and shows a lot of courage and strength of character. My favourite character from the series has been Queen Amberley. She makes silly decisions, has a very weird thought-process, and still hasn’t mastered the art of considering the consequences of her ill-conceived decisions. I had a paragraph here about how whiny and irrational America is, but I think I’ve said it all in the other reviews and there’s no reason to rehash it. I loved this because I was quite tired of seeing the girls bicker and succumb to petty emotions, and I feel like they all really grew up in this book. The One is more of the same, with America forming meaningful ties with the other three girls who are left in the game to become Prince Maxon’s bride. The journey hasn’t been easy, with the books focussing on the relationships between America and the rest of the cast and not the thing I was most interested in, which was the dystopian society and the rebellion. It’s over, and now we know who America gets with. Sounds awesome? That’s The One, wrapped up in a few words for you. Tears, angst, guns, blood, an engagement (yes that’s a wedding dress on the cover!). But as the competition approaches its end and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realises just how much she stands to lose – and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants. Now, the time has come for one winner to be chosen.Īmerica never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown – or to Prince Maxon’s heart. ★★★½ The One ( The Selection #3) by Kiera Cassįor the four girls who remain at the palace, the friendships they’ve formed, rivalries they’ve struggled with and dangers they’ve faced have bound them to each other for the rest of their lives.
