A review by halefa
The Selection Series 5-Book Collection: The Selection, The Elite, The One, The Heir, The Crown by Kiera Cass

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
I did not finish the book, cause I can't stand the main character and the absolute slow progression of the plot.
It is as if the main character never once uses her brain, finishes a thought or considers consequences for her actions. She is incredibly daft - and still somehow the book wants to show her as a hero, as the one deserving to be the princess. I fucking hope not.

There is absolutely no character development - I mean apart from her loving one person 100% and then two pages later switching over to loving another person 100% and then switching back. For three fucking books. And she believes it every time. Same goes for the job as princess/crown: I don't want it - oh, I want it - I absolutely never want it - I want it so much now no one saw it coming.

That's all of the plot so far.

Also, time flies very weirdly in these books. Only a few weeks have gone by and characters act as if they've lived their whole lifes. America's sister was very pregnant in beginning of book 1 and only gave birth in book 3, many months later. Wtf.

Read the first book. Enjoy the world building. Don't go further than that.
