The Elite

I started reading this book with even lower expectations than I had the The Selection. I don't generally love second (or third) books. I just haven't had good luck with them maybe, especially when it comes to YA dystopia. Thankfully, this book was no worse than the first in the series. Although, I don't think it was any better either.

I actually debated not posting a review for this book because I could say the same thing I said about The Selection. I didn't love the story or the characters. I honestly hated America more in this one. To keep it spoiler free, I'll just say the first half of the book and on and off throughout, she is infuriating. While reading, I exclaimed “Are you kidding me?!” out loud multiple times. Despite that, I kept reading. There really isn't much to the story. It's kind of a fluffy series, one that echoes the plot of all other YA dystopia.

In fact, I couldn't probably tell you how the series ends right now. But for some reason beyond me, I haven't given up yet. I plan to keep reading. I believe (although this is all of her work I've read) that Kiera Cass is a good writer. I do appreciate her writing style, otherwise, I would have given up long ago. All in all, the book was okay, but nothing I'd reread.
