No tenía esperanzas de que la serie mejorara con este libro. Es más, sólo lo leí porque quería saber si Kiera Cass podía escribir algo peor que La Selección. Me llevé una gran sorpresa con esta secuela. No, no es la gran cosa, ni me gustó hasta el punto de babear por Maxon y Aspen, como muchas hacen. Pero debo admitir que no lo odié tanto como odié al libro. La historia no mejora, ni tampoco los personajes, pero hubo más acción y momentos "de infarto", por decirlo así.

América se superó en lo qu

I never should have bought this without reading it first. The first book was amazing and I got it in a heartbeat but this one left me cringing within the first 20 pages. At one point, I had to restrain myself from throwing the book at the wall I was so utterly frustrated at the plot and at the characters stupidity.

The largest source of my grief? How America was jealous of Maxon dating the other girls. Honey, you're in a competition for his heart so you have to compete against the other girls. Th

As America's journey in The Selection continues you can't help but carry on page by page into this adventure with her. With fewer girls remaining than before The Elite bring not only drama but a darker side to The Selection series that I really enjoyed.

America is finding out that not everyone and everything is exactly what it seems in the palace. I found a lot of scenes in this novel to be heartbreaking. I didn't realize how truly I was attached to some of these characters until things started

Oh Miss Kiera Cass, you are a goddess among human beings for creating such a beautiful beautiful story!

I can't even...sometimes I hate dense female protagonists...and for some reason that seems to follow the trend lately. Oh I know Aspen-lovers out there will hate me for this...but why must you keep going back for Aspen!!!

Like this book was legit all ups and downs...sometimes I thought "That's it. She's made her choice. It's over. She's the One" and then some stuff happens, she gets at Maxon, Ma

OMG!!!! I just want to kill her!!! Go die America!!! JUST. GO. DIE!!!!! Make up your damned mind already!!! It's an obvious choice. Maxon. You idiot. CHOOSE MAXON!!! I can clearly see right through Aspen by this point. He is manipulating you!!! He's saying he doesn't believe in you!!! THAT'S THE BIGGEST HINT EVER!!!!!!!!! Okay...now that my rant is over...I'm sorry by the way...I did like this book even though it was horribly frustrating, obviously. This series is amazing and I highly recommend ...more
