“…this is what it’s like this is how it feels when you fall.” “The best people all have some kind of scar.” “Because when you’re on the bottom, your only choice is to blame the top.” Maybe I’m not really looking, maybe they aren’t right for me. “…true love is usually the most inconvenient kind.” “The moment you’re ready to ask, I’m ready to say yes.” RATING: THE SELECTION THE ELITE THE ONE OVERALL RATING QUOTABLE QUOTES

Not the best series I’ve read, but definitely a decent one to say the least. (You can conveniently stop at Book 3 because the next two books involve a different character and plot.) Entertaining, swoon-worthy. So to anyone who wants to fall in love while having a quick read at the same time (each book averages to 200+ pages only), this is definitely for you. Aesthetically speaking, these designs make you just want to grab them and run to the nearest bookstore counter to pay for them and take them home. It made it heartwarming-lyworth it in the end.Īnd can we talk about the covers? They’re breathtaking. That epic conclusion was a dream – that build up to the ultimate admission (of feelings) was palpable. And even at the very end, Kiera Cass managed to bring that thrilling factor to her scenes. The journey of it was a heartwarming one. I was always drawn to the pages, that even though I know that America would eventually be chosen in the end ( is this even a spoiler at this point?), I was still nervous that she would be eliminated because of many circumstances. The story is a bit predictable but I can definitely say that it doesn’t lack in the entertainment department. Relatively speaking, the characters could have been made a lot more interesting… but despite its flaws, I can see why it became a bestseller too quickly. And I also get to read that famous line of Maxon’s that’s circulating in Twitter for quite a while now: I miss obvious romance - maybe because I’ve been reading too much SFF lately, so this is really a welcome change. Despite this, the chemistry he had with America is undeniable… and the moment he appeared on page, I was already #TeamMaxon.

There are some things that are too cliche to be easily believed like how he has absolutely no romantic experience but then goes on and be smooth AF with the ladies – it’s a bit too hard to process. If I gotta say, Prince Maxon‘s presence made the pages charged. As the chapters went by, especially by the time she arrived at the palace, everything became exciting. It was torture reading the first few chapters but I’m glad I pulled through. So imagine the horror whenever I read “ all I want is to be your wife“. It’s no secret that I hate female leads who think that love is all that matters and as long as there is love, everything will be alright - which, to be honest, is a pretty pathetic idea because love can only take you so far (hello, inner cynic), right? Not practical at all. At first, I have to admit that America was insufferable. America Singer, the protagonist and narrator, had a decent character development through out the 3 books. Basically, this falls under the romance genre - but there are little injections of political and familial drama, bits of rebellion/revolution that somewhat reminds me of the ones in the Red Queen series, though a bit lighter. Taking into account everything that happened, I do think the whole 3 books can be squeezed into one giant tome – with some filler scenes and story lines cut, readers wouldn’t feel too frustrated with how the books were divided.īut I digress. Honestly, if I read The Selection during its first release and the second book is a year away from being published, I would’ve been really frustrated. Of course this is somewhat thanks to the way Kiera Cass ended her books - cliffhangers after cliffhangers, you just can’t help but read the next one at once. I tend to linger - but in this case, I just flipped and flipped and flipped and flipped, and before I knew it, I was through. So basically, it’s like The Bachelor for the royalty.Īnyway, I read this series one lazy afternoon and in roughly a little less than 24 hours (discounting the hours I dedicated for work), and I quickly finished all three! Which is a feat for me, considering the fact that I am a really sloooow reader. The series revolves around America Singer and how her life changed when she was suddenly selected for the Selection, a tradition in their country in which 35 girls are to be selected across all provinces and all castes to have a chance to be the crown prince’s wife - and, in turn, the future queen.
