Secondly, I was very shocked with Celeste’s death. But then suddenly, in the last 5 chapters everything happens! Like, am I supposed to suddenly believe that Aspen and Lucy are madly in ‘love’ and devoted to one another? Since when? The only signs we got hinted that they were ‘barely’ friends and starting to know each other but then in the end they are in love? If anything it should’ve been started to like each other and you can see the bundles of love slowly but surly blossoming in the air but staring deeply into each others eyes with nothing but undying love and devotion is a huuuge jump from “Mer I can’t give up on you, I’ll always be there for you.bla bla” Ugh, utter and complete bullshit! Just the basic love drama and photo ops like in the last two books. In the first 30 chapters, nothing much happens at all. No humor, no proper love scenes, no action. I can’t even recommend it as a light read because it’s just plain. I’m just soo annoyed over the whole thing. It’s boring and frustrating especially when you know who she’s going to end up with anyway. You really can’t write a whole trilogy based on just that. Tell him or not tell him about her feelings. It’s not that it’s boring, it’s that it is? There isn’t much that goes on, we keep shifting back and forth between the exact same thing, love Maxon or don’t love Maxon. Maybe it’s just not for me? Maybe I’ve grown old and tired of simply reading about a love triangle with no other plot line? But after reading only a few chapters, I was already thinking one thing, Finish. It’s a bit better than the second one, >The Elite< but still. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose-and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants.”

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown-or to Prince Maxon’s heart. “The time has come for one winner to be crowned. It was only ever yours to break anyway.” – Prince Maxon
