Right up until the end I wasn’t quite sure how everything would get tied up. I think that Maxon’s selection was way more predictable than Eadlyn’s. Eadlyn’s storyline is focused more on Eadlyn’s future as Illéa’s Queen and the responsibilities that come with it, rather than America’s storyline, which is mostly based on romance-but of course, there is a little bit of that here and there, as she is in search of a husband. In the fourth and fifth novels of the series, The Heir and The Crown, the story picks up eighteen years later when America and Maxon’s daughter, Eadlyn, holds her own selection. The story follows America and Maxon as they discover who they are as individuals, and who they are together. Their story is one of friendship, bravery, and of course, love. Well, let me tell you, three is not enough! Their story demonstrates raw, difficult, beautiful love and has set my expectations way too high. America and Maxon’s love story is stretched out over three books (not including the novellas and extra scenes). She does not expect to be chosen, as practically every girl that is eligible has signed up, but she is chosen and the story takes off as she participates in the competition at the palace to gain Prince Maxon’s love. Eventually, America does enter as a favor to Aspen, who asks her to join so he knows he is not holding her back from anything. America is resistant to enter because of her love for Aspen, but her mother pushes her to enter. Any girl of the right age can enter the selection, but only 35 are chosen. Prince Maxon, the only son of the King and Queen, is holding a selection to find a wife-essentially, The Bachelor, but for royalty. She is in love with her neighbor, Aspen, who is a Six and has an even harder time putting food on the table. Her family has a hard time getting a sufficient amount of food, but they get by. Many of them starve, are forced to do difficult labor and get sick because of the polluted air in which they live.Īmerica Singer, the protagonist of The Selection, is a Five. Life for the richer castes is swell, but for those that are Fives or higher, life is a constant struggle. There are restrictions based on the castes, which determines professions, living situations, and wealth. The citizens are split up into castes that range from Ones to Eights, Ones being the richest, Eights being the poorest.

The captivating story takes place in a country by the name of Illéa, with a monarchy as their form of government.

It is a five-book series, with Happily Ever After acting as a companion to the series ( Happily Ever After consists of four novellas and exclusive never-before-seen content and scenes). of chases or violence 10% planning/preparing, gather info, debate puzzles/motives 10% Feelings, relationships, character bio/development 40% Descript.If you are looking for a good book series, I could not recommend Kiera Cass’ The Selection more. Her inner struggle when dealing with her emotions over Maxon and Aspen is also very relatable.Ĭlick on a plot link to find similar books! Plot & Themes Composition of Book Descript. In the overall plot, it works well, and her frank, cynical attitude makes her insights and observations interesting. What I like most about America is that she remains true to herself. The best part is she genuinely wants to be JUST friends, which lets the audience see her true personality. She agrees, and offers him friendship which immediately makes her stand out from the rest. Instead, Maxon finds her charming and offers to let her stay and eat all the good food she wants. The night before, America scolded him in the garden and is prepared to be sent home. My favorite scene is when Maxon and America formally meet. I like that its told in first person by America because we get to make discoveries the same time she does.

There is a government oppressing the majority of society, plus a charming, handsome Prince who genuinely cares about his people.

If 'The Bachelor' and 'The Hunger Games' had a baby, this book would be it.
