Mildly entertaining.
Really a sad try at ripping off from The Selection.

The Selection Battle Royale
This book was quick to read though I did often find myself having to re-read portions to fully understand them. If you liked The Selection and The Hunger Games then you'll likely enjoy this mashup.

I was hoping for a new version of the Hunger Games with a Selection series kind of twist, but this simply was not what I received.
The pacing of this book is so strange, there’s absolutely no sense to some of the events that occur - and believe me a whole lot happens in this nearly 500 page heap of rubbish.
There were SO many stories happening and so many names, I’m honestly struggling to comprehend what happened. I really liked the world building but the story just sort of ruined it for me.
Zea - the person supposed to be infiltrating the palace to start the revolution - was the biggest WET LETTUCE ever. She is PATHETIC. She’s naive, a snivelling wreck and is just severely unlikeable. Berta as a character also made me want to run over my own head, I wanted to set her on fire. Zea is also pining over someone back in her home town that absolutely is only showing an interest to make her complete her mission. Also his name is Ryce. RYCE. And her name literally means CORN CORN CORN.
One more thing, when you’re having people take part in a televised competition, you don’t TELL them they’re the scapegoat or the “bucking bronco” - that is so dumb. You don’t tell people the roles you want them to fulfil, it just doesn’t work. The end did pick up a bit for me, but the sequel needs some serious transforming for me to like it.
Did I enjoy this? No. Will I be considering buying the next book so I can hate read it? Yes.

This is a dystopian as well as YA fiction, fantasy, and romance!
By reading this book I discovered that dystopian could be one of my new favorite book genres!
A lot of events unfold in this book and the series especially when power is involved. You never know who you can truly trust in the world and who could easily betray you for their own goals.
Moreover, I love competition, royalty and romance all in one. I was hooked on this one and kept reading, because I was excited to know what was next.
When it came to the prince, I liked that he didn't see arrogant and turned out to be more than just a heir to the kingdom. As for Zea Calico, she may be reckless and joined the trials as spy, but overall, she was a character with determination. There were others likable characters and some not so likeable, but once you this read, I think it will meet expectations in what you would find this book!
