yoongi I agree with the rule about going for the second guy in the love triangle. Thats always the ones authors mean for the main character. the second one is always the one that is the one meant to be with the character. It's basically law. Author... Law.

I know how you feel. After the reveal of Maxon being beaten partially because of her. It cemented it for me that America needs him as much as he needs her.

Olivia MAXON. 'nuff said.


message 211: by TJ (new)

TJ Umm okay yeah I'm ready for the hate, but.....neither. They both suck. Aspen was stupid right from the start and he whines A LOT. I was all for Maxon until that part from The Elite where he turns into a DICK. That's the kinda sh!t that makes me really upset and I won't be forgiving him for that anytime soon. I really can't see how everyone is just okay with that?! And if America does, well then I guess they deserve each other. At this point I hope she ends up with neither of them. Why does she need a man anyways? Really, if those are the only choices, then single life is the way to go.

I'd have to agree with you about Aspen being a Dick and which part of the Elite was Maxon the same? When America saw him making out with Celeste? He's allowed to do that. It was a stupid thing to do. But America was doing THE EXACT SAME THING with Aspen which you seem to forget to mention.

Jasmine Cliche and typical ending/story would be for Amererica to end up with the Prince......( most likely will happen ) therefore rooting for Aspen.


message 216: by Night (new) - rated it 5 stars

Night Is the selection stories any good?


Gabriella Night wrote: "Is the selection stories any good?"

I like it and I was really engrossed with the extended version of The Prince. I also enjoyed the first three chapters of The One, although I thought Maxon was being a little douchey. Plus, Kriss was being such a b*tch to America. But it seems that America is now going after Maxon. (To which I say: "Yay! Team Maxon, GO!")

I love both of you, I'm team Aspen as well. I never see that, wow, everyone is too blinded by their ~lurve~ to the ennoying Prince *Sighs*

No, I totally agree. I don't like America at all and in retrospect they probably deserve each other. But two wrongs don't make a right. I realize that America's no gem, but the question was do I like Aspen or Maxon and I said neither for obvious reasons. If Maxon really liked her, he wouldn't make out with other girls to relax and that's that. Doesn't make what she's doing right, but it doesn't make him the lesser of two evils either.

I understand that point of view and agree. He says he loves her like aspen did but you see little proof as to what he thinks of her. And the book is called the selection I think people have it right saying its her selection not maxon's that pisses me off.

I'm team Maxon and I heard the audio version of the Guard and found that Maxon loves America but he thinks that Maxon is like his father or something along those lines.


message 227: by Norma (new) - rated it 5 stars

Norma TEAM MAXON ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!! DUHHH


Gabriella While I am still Team Maxon all the way (still crossing my fingers, Kiera Cass), I do have some sympathy for Aspen after reading his family tree info in The Selection Stories. However, this is mainly from his mother and father's sad backstory. So while I do pity Aspen, I still believe Maxon and America should get together. Maybe Aspen could hook up with Lucy? Who knows.

Yes, America is doing the same thing with Aspen but at least she likes Aspen, I mean LIKE like. Unlike Maxon, he's supposed to dread Celeste. He does. All he likes is the good figure and Celeste's kissing skills.

And I agree at some point that Aspen is overly egoistic but he apologizes. Not just in person and America couldn't hear him. At least he admitted his mistakes. READ THE GUARD PLEASE.

I still like Maxon though.

I've listened to the audio book I know Aspen loves her but he is also wrong about maxon. And he still believes that a man should be the provider protector I agree with that but he threw a fit because his girlfriend made him a meal! Maxon on the other hand is waiting for America to make up her mind. Has given her TIME TIME TIME I was unimpressed with all characters in the elite

Well, everyone has flaws. They just have too many that we can't stomach them all. Maxon is sweet, cute and innocently devoted to America. I respect that. Aspen is genuine, loyal and selfless. Both boys are humble and love America with all their hearts but America is so indecisive. Like one minute she likes Maxon and then she still wants Aspen in her life. A bit selfish don't you think?

Yes exactly. She wants them both but. I think the fact that Maxon was whipped because of her that she loved him. ASpen was her first love you never forget that but I think Maxon is her true love. I HOPE THE SELECTION ENDS BEFORE THE BOOKS MID POINT!

It's obvious that she will choose Maxon but, I want Aspen to still have a chance in the third book. And with all the business with the rebels and the Selection almost coming to an end, how can Kiera Cass possibly fit everything in one single book?

I still love Aspen with all my heart! Even if America doesn't!

message 236: by Laís (new)

Laís Souza I´m Brazilian and most readers of here want America and Maxon at the end. Aspen is a very loyal guy and deserves a beaultiful ending but his story with America is over. The point is that they don´t want to say goodbye. You can see this by reading "The Guard" when Aspen says they are still the same as when they lived in Carolina and he will fight to prove. Sorry, but this is an illusion. Things happened and feelings changed. America is not the same and she built something with the Prince. Is not the ideal relationship but they shared too much. There´s no way to ignore. America with Aspen is like the history walking in circles. She have to move on with the guy that helped her to grow up. Maxon is not perfect but they´re learning and like each other. This is more solid than a handful of memories.

THIS. It's hard to say goodbye to our first love, it represents too many things. The story only will have a complete meaning with the maturation of characters. Aspen and America have to move on.

I have the same feeling. Someone will be killed, or seriously injured. Frankly, I think it will be Aspen. And then America will freak out and get worried, and Maxon with either find out or ask her about it. I am prepared for that. I wonder, though, how Maxon will react.


message 240: by Cindy (new) - added it

Cindy Zuniga Or maybe America will be the one who will be injured.

Totally on team maxon. Maybe i would be more aspen if he was a more well developed character, but in the first book, he just... drops in. As in, POOF! voila, introducing America's love life that nobody knows a freaking fun fact about. Maxon, however... I wish he was real. hes such a good person and i swear America and him just make me squeal with girly-girl romantic delight. Team Maxon! WOOT WOOT!!

Laís Souza I've read The Selection Stories. But I confess that I still consider Kriss and especially Daphne as threats to America-Maxon. SPOILER: Did you notice the crisis with France? This reminds me of the words of "The Prince" that says "Suddenly, his offhand comment about Daphne being a waste made ​​sense. He did not care if I was close to her because she was charming or good company; que he cared she was France. Not even a person to him. And since he basically had what he needed from France, she was useless in his eyes. Had she proven valuable, I had no doubt he would have been que willing to throw a beloved tradition out this window".

Yeah that seemed weird. I just hope the selection ends by page 50! Europe in the book want America. So I still wonder if America still has chosen even though she wants SPOILER! HIM!

Laís Souza And still have the interview with Kiera Cass when she says: when I sat down and wrote it out the first team, I did. I Knew who she was supposed to be with. And as I got to the end of the first book, I Realized I did not know America as well as I thought I did-a lot of things were different about her. So when I went back and rewrote it I Realized she would pick someone different. So yes and no. Because the person que she ends up with changes. It is exactly who she would have picked, I just was not paying attention. "What does that mean? If she wants America to Aspen, so she's doing it all wrong. Aspen can be a good boy but .... I don´t think he is strong enough to be the choice of the protagonist.
