The Guard by Kiera Cass

3.0

An improvement from The Prince in that I feel it actually adds something to the story. However, Aspen's feelings still seem inauthentic. This could have been an opportunity to give us more about his life that might make us sympathize with him more and see some of what America sees, but it didn't really work out that way. This gets 3 stars mostly because I liked having another point of view for the rebel attacks and some other moments in The Elite. But as far as developing Aspen, it gave a tiny bit of insight but then fell short.
