Publisher's Summary

The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown - or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose - and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Really good book. Really like the story line and can’t wait to read the other book!

It was a really good book and it really loved the voice actor. It really matched the personality and it made the book way better.

Beautiful!

This book was wonderful! I appreciate so much the wholesome of the love story. The heroes and heroines were so very well portrayed. The plots and sub plots were so intense and so well written, and portrayed so very well.
The only thing that made me really sad was the death of Maxin’s mother. She had such a loving heart and was so gracious and kind. I am so glad Maxin was so very much like her!

This would make a beautiful “Hallmark” movie. By the way, I say this in all seriousness. I love the Hallmark movies. Thank you Kiera Cass for keeping this book so pure and lovely!

Fell Short

The premise of the story held a lot of promise, but to be honest the entire 3 books would have been better as a single slightly longer book. In a lot of ways the writing felt wishy washy and a little all over the place, almost as if it was a teenage girls diary of fantasies in book format.
The author has a lot of promise, and I do find that her writing grew in strength towards the third book.
The main reason I read through the series, is that I continued to hope that the wishy-washy back & forth-ness of America, and the blasé excuses Maxon kept giving would improve. To be honest these books give to much focus on the importance of appearance for little girls, edge on the opinion of its okay to have multiple romantic partners at the same time, dishonesty in the relationship, and lack of faith in partners and themselves.
I love a good romance, some royal themes thrown in a book, but things were too inconsistent overall. And the underlying morals at time just grated on my skin. The author has potential I'll give it that, and the premise is a cheerful fluffy book aimed at young adults/teen readers

Disappointed

I feel like this story had potential, but all things considered, America didn't actually do much. The end feels rushed and incomplete.
