This book is a little more political than its predecessor, but the main focus is still the Romance story. The writing did not falter or change in any way. Overall pretty good sequel.

Would round up to 4⭐

This was good. America was annoying during parts of it and I was annoyed at the constant use of redhead as a derogatory term, but otherwise I really enjoyed it! It made me feel a lot and I love Maxon. Still hate Aspen.

!!!DISCLAIMER!!! Look no hate at all, this is just my personal opinions. This is not a bash against the author or anything this book wasn’t my cup of tea. And I read it in Swedish - the translation is not good at all - which may have contributed to what I think of it.

This book… The first book of the selection series was pretty decent. It was easy to read and I didn’t have to focus so much.
This book is way worse in every possible way. It feels like I could’ve written this book when I was ten, I mean the Swedish translation was not iiiittt.

Here’s some things I wrote down while reading:
- Is she mentally ill?
- HOW CAN SHE STILL BE W ASPEN I HATE ASPEN
- why tf is she so stuck up in her attitude
- I hate Maxon, stupid and ugly name
- Is she dumb in her whole head
- SHE IS AN ANTI HERO STUPID BITCH WHY DID IT TAKE HER SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT THE SELECTION IS WRONG AND THAT THE CAST SYSTEM IS BAD AND DUMB????
- aspen go to bed I don’t want you here
- SHE IS FUCKING CHEATING ON MAXON W ASPEN AND WHEN MAXON DOES SOMETHING W OTHER GIRLS SHE CANT FORGIVE HIM AND WONT TALK TO HIM??
- I feel so bad for Maxon

In conclusion it was a pretty bad book that just kept getting worse BUT I’m still going to read the whole series because I want to watch it when it comes out on Netflix. That’s the only thing that’s keeping me hooked.
The characters wasn’t likable at AAALLLLL💀💀 It is not a single person I like in this fucking book I despise everyone and everything. And

what was it with the king in the end? That felt so forced. And also whyyy did it take so long for America to notice that everything was wrong. I thought she would realize something sooner.

Maybe I’m too old for this book, maybe it’s meant for younger kids.

3.0

The story follows America and her journey to deciding if she wants to be princess and her feeling between two boys. All while there is the have and have not outside the palace which has caused a group to want to bring down the royal family. Then there is Maxon and his decision on who he wants as not only his wife but the queen. There were 35 to start now there is only 6. Is America the one or is she not?

This story line is good, but Americas back and forth and her juggling the feelings of two boys hearts is annoying. I also think this book could have been cut down, at times its like it's stuck on replay. Only minor changes go about each day and each girl does the same thing.
