I mean Maxon is mostly great and I understand his decisions. America on the other hand got more and more annoying and I can't identify with her at all anymore. I'm almost hoping Kris will win.
These books are clearly a fantasy. The female reader is supposed to see themselves as America and feel the rush of being so loved by two people. That did not however work for me. I don't understand what anyone sees in America. It is constantly stated how bland and inadequate she is but still everyone absolutely loves her. Her actions are so ridiculous and over exaggerated. Maxon keeps telling her how much he cares about her and then he looks at someone else once and she immediately assumes the worst. She really doesn't trust in his words.
I will still be reading the next book in the series because as annoyed as I was it was still great entertainment. I am invested in the characters and their relationships even though I don't particularly like them.
The whole book is quite patriotic and I just wish we got to see more of the rebels. They show up every few chapters to destroy stuff and steal books and that's it. For a moment I was actually hoping they would kidnap America and she would then join them. That would have at least brought a bit of excitement into the story. I feel like a lot of plot points have been set up and very under explained. The series has the potential if an amazing finally but I'm worried the author will go in the more simple direction and just leave a lot of stuff unexplained.

I andra boken i Selection serien är en fortsättning på urvalet och kampen om Maxons hjärta (och tronen). Det finns bara sex tjejer kvar och fler ska elimineras. Ska America få stanna i tävlingen och hur ser hennes känslor egentligen ut?
Jag fortsätter att rekommenderar boken och den är väldigt underhållande. Målgruppen för boken skulle jag säga är 12+. Detta är en bok med intriger, romans och vänskap och den utspelar sig i en allt annat än perfekt värld. En fantasy (utan magi) och dystopisk bok.
