It’s over, and now we know who America gets with. Sounds awesome? That’s The One, wrapped up in a few words for you. Tears, angst, guns, blood, an engagement (yes that’s a wedding dress on the cover!). But as the competition approaches its end and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realises just how much she stands to lose – and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants. Now, the time has come for one winner to be chosen.Īmerica never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown – or to Prince Maxon’s heart. Bring on catty attacks and feline snark.★★★½ The One ( The Selection #3) by Kiera Cassįor the four girls who remain at the palace, the friendships they’ve formed, rivalries they’ve struggled with and dangers they’ve faced have bound them to each other for the rest of their lives. But it is about a bunch of girl competing for ONE guy.
LAST SENTENCE OF THE ONE BY KIERA CASS TV
It reads like a reality TV show, or a dystopian version of Miss Congeniality. I liked the web of intrigue and who-really-loves me, but it wasn’t enough. And that included everyone huddling in their rooms. The only action-y parts were when the palace was attacked. The plot spends a lot of time doing photoshoots and wearing dresses.
I liked it and didn’t get bored, but I easily put it down.
America narrates in 1st person, and it was clear and easy to read. Maybe that’s not how the author intended it! You have to read it to find out for yourself. He thinks he knows better (because he’s a prince?). Which is good! He’s well written! But, through all his endearing jokes and actions…it all comes undone for me when he doesn’t really value what America says. I feel like he was written to be Prince Charming. Qualifications include, calling girls “my dear” (gosh that annoyed me), working hard, and being 100% endearing until he has a hissy-fit. Other half of the triangle? Bring in Prince Maxon. You get rated from One (awesome) to Eight (extreme loser). In first place, with no qualifications apart from passionate-kisser, we have Aspen. But, wait! Don’t freak out! It’s one of the better love-triangles I’ve read. Now, um, how do I put this? There is a love-triangle.
She actually had a personality.īasically this ( complete with the hair): She cared about her family! (Even though her mother was pretty overbearing and bribed her into entering the Selection.) America was sweet and worked hard, yet had fiery temper and jumped to conclusions. She had more on her agenda then smooching a boy. Me no likee.Īpart from all that America was an awesome narrator.
LAST SENTENCE OF THE ONE BY KIERA CASS PLUS
Plus her nickname was “Mer”, which sounds like a fin-less mermaid. Seriously, people, a character called “America”? At first, I thought, “Well, it’s dystopian, so they probably don’t have an ‘America’ as we know it today.” WRONG. It looks kind of like a peacock being blow-dried, but I love it.Ĭharacters? Introducing, America Singer! The fabulous red-haired spunky narrator whose only fault is her name.
It really reflects the book! The dress is fabulous. What did I think? It was surprisingly brilliant.īefore I say anything else, though, the cover is gorgeous! I love the colours and I love the girl’s pose on the front cover. I’ve heard mixed things about The Selection. In good ways and not-so-good (which is the polite way of saying “boring”).
