If you go through my ratings, you will see that I almost never give 1 star to a book. This is the second or third book I gave 1 star in 3 YEARS. So yeah, it was bad.
Kiera Cass, I want to tell you that this book was such a disappointment and you just lost a reader.
You wrote a book with the EXACT same formula as your previous trilogy, but this was so bad that you can notice this books was made just for the money. If you say to me that this book had thought put in it before publishing it, I would never believe you, because this was so bad written that I was cringing the whole time, but I kept reading, hoping that I would get better, but it never got better... It got even worse.
This book had all the things I didn't like, and lacked all the good stuff that kept me reading The Selection.
Eadlyn it's so annoying! She LITERALLY says like 30 times “I'm the most powerful person in the planet” and “I can do what I want”. She is the worst character EVER. For this kind if book people say shit about the Young Adult genre.
This book lacks of everything a good book should have: It doesn't have ANY character development. She's the same spoiled stubborn brat from beginning to end. When some of the characters show her the mistakes she is doing, she just makes a scene and leaves the room dramatically. She would freak out about the littlest thing and be SO mean to everybody for no reason! When other people did stuff the only thing she was thinking it's how it would affect her!
I have never read a character that was so self-absorbed.
The plot didn't go anywhere: the plot was so simple she being mean, she realizing she's a bitch, she forgetting about it and being a bitch all over again and so on.
There was a subplot that if it was well developed it would have make this book really great, but Cass decided to keep it in the shadows.
The boys: some of them were okay, some of them were gross. The only one I liked was Eric and he didn't even was in the selection...
The only parts I enjoyed were the ones with Maxon and America because they're so freaking cute!
But in conclusion, this book was terrible. Like really really terrible.
