Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea. America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share...
The Selection = Awesome, The Elite…
I absolutely loved reading The
Selection. The whole find-the-princess bachelor thing was really interesting, and I liked
America and Maxon enough to care what happened to them in the next book. I
thought their relationship was adorable. I also liked how America wasn't falling all over Maxon the moment she met him. However, after reading The Elite
I no longer care about either America or Maxon. In fact, I can’t stand either
of them.
The romance, the confusion, the indecisiveness…
All I can say is for the love
of god make up your mind,
America! I can't go through a whole other book of "I love Maxon. No wait, I
love Aspen! No wait Maxon! Don’t leave me." It gets really annoying after
awhile. I also disliked how she thought it was completely okay for her to cheat
all she wanted and had the audacity to blow up when [insert love interest] did
it! And I am so tired of Maxon making
excuses for what he did. Being a prince doesn't excuse you from being a
complete jerk! It is still wrong.
The book as a whole, but mostly the ending…
Throughout the entirety of The
Elite barely nothing major happened or if it did it wasn't that much of a big deal. I am still confused about the whole rebel thing and
their random appearances to stir up conflict in the novel. The characters and
their actions were completely inconsistent. The ending left everything right
back to where the characters were in the beginning of the novel. I couldn't help
but think to myself after reading the whole book “what was the point of all
this?”. If you skipped this The Elite and went straight to book # 3 you would not be missing out on anything. There were some fun moments in this book but the
more I read the more I started to dislike the characters. I can’t think of even
one character I like enough to continue reading this series. Sadly, I think my journey into the world of
the Selection officially ends here.
