This series of books embodied everything that bugs me about modern "trilogies." Basically, The Selection and The Elite and The One are one book, published in three sections. This is not a trilogy, IMHO. This is one book published over a period of time! Kind of like Dickens' serials which were published chapter by chapter in magazines. No one pretended that it was not all one book.
A trilogy should be 3 related books, of which any one can stand alone as an independent story. This is certainly not ...more

let me start by saying that I liked this book (obviously by my stars too haha). I liked the book because it did a good job of wrapping the story up nicely with no loss ties.

I definitely recommend that you read this story to find what happens and to finish off reading the selection series.

This conclusion to the Selection trilogy had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. At some points of the book, I thought "this is stupid, Cass should have just condensed this whole story into one book instead of dragging it out."

There were multiple times that I was annoyed with America for the choices she was making but then something else would happen and I would forget my annoyance and love her character agai ...more
