BTW here's the cover shoot video for the cover of the One. The dress was absolutely gorgeous
Drum roll please!!........ The moment we've all been waiting for - The One by Kiera Cass is finally out! I was so excited to read this book- it was released more than a year after The Elite came out- torture or what? I have been wanting to read it for so long and I'm so excited that it's finally here!
I really enjoyed the first 2 books of the Selection series but honestly I thought The One was a bit of a let down. I felt like it was missing a bit of that "America air" to things in the book and it felt like things were being rushed. Like how at the end King Clarkson and Queen Amberley died during the rebel attack? Total unexpected. And Maxon's behaviours after he found out about Aspen was so strange - it felt so out of character and made me feel weirded out. And to top it off, America's maids who were such a big part of the book did not really have much about them in the last few chapters. Lucy retired and married Aspen, Marry was the only one left because Anne was gone. That for me was a huge letdown. I think the book could have been written better - it was the finale of a great series! I loved the book but I think it could have been written a bit better. The ending left me feeling slightly miffed that it was so brief and just left me unsatisfied. It didn't really feel like there was a real closure to the story, if you know what I mean.
I really like that Aspen and Lucy and Maxon and America ended up together though because I think they're meant to be. Quite often in the middle of the book I found myself smiling in happiness when Maxon and America grew closer. But I hated Kriss also in some parts of the book. I was like GO AWAY KRISS MAXON IS AMERICA'S!!!!!! But all is good now so don't despair :)
I think the ending could have been better but no fear I still absolutely love the Selection series though I'm kind of sad that it's ended. No more Maxon and America :( *tears up and sniffles*
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this review. The selection series is a must-read, drop-everything-now ,forget-your-homework and forget-to-eat-or-sleep book that I think anyone who likes fantasy books will enjoy.
