I knew people said this book was garbage.... but I had no idea it was HOT juicy garbage that has been baking under the summer sun for a week while wild raccoons and bears stop by to shit on it.

What the heck just happened? I'm sad to say that this book is a case of bad writing, particularly plot ideation. :l

Although I didn’t love this book as much as The Selection series, I enjoyed reading the this book and am glad that Kiera Cass is writing again. I was extremely disappointed with the ending and wish it had stopped after Hollis’ wedding, however I see how this was necessary for future books in the series to happen. I enjoyed the characters and the relationships they formed, and will likely continue to follow the series.

I really loved the Selection series. Was hoping for much more from this book. I feel like a whole lot a nothing happened.
Hollis was just ridiculous.
The, I love the king, I will marry him when he asks, but, oh no, I love someone else... I've seen a handful of times because he has blue eyes...
Then they kill him off and her parents.
Sorry I just found this book annoying.
rant over, should be more like 1.5 stars.
NOTE TO self: don't read the next book... I know I'll cave for it on audio...

Tohle opravdu napsala Kiera Cassová? Ta samá, která napsala Selekci?

Pořád nějak nemůžu uvěřit, že po mé milované Selekci přišlo tohle. Zaslíbená je jedná velká chyba, která neměla spatřit světlo světa a měla zůstat zavřená v tom nejspodnějším šuplíku. Nejspíš jsem začala nesnášet zlatou barvu a slunce a modré oči - kdo četl, tak určitě ví.

Vlastně jsem to doteď stále nepobrala. Byl tam vůbec vysvětlený svět kolem? Vůbec. Postavy? Ty nestály za nic. Ani jedna z nich. A když jsem se s tímhle utrpením dostala až na konec, tak jsem se dozvěděla, že jsem to vlastně po celou dobu snášela úplně zbytečně. To mě fakt po***. Nejhorší kniha roku. Fakt. Je to o to větší zklamání, protože Selekci mám ráda.

Abych vám to blíž přiblížila. Tak o světě mimo zámek nevím opravdu téměř nic. Král Jameson se řehtá situacím, které mi vůbec vtipné nepřišly. Hlavní hrdinka Hollis se zamiluje po prvním uhranutí modrých očí. S neurozeným cizincem bych rozhovory v celé knize spočítala na prstech jedné ruky. V té knize se opravdu skoro nic nedělo. A hlavně to čtení šlo tak strašně pomalu.. Od začátku do konce to byla nuda.
