[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Well...I didn't expect that ending. I wished that the Queen could have survived. I would have loved to see her reaction to everything. Of course the Aspen thing came out and of course there was drama. I did gasp when Celeste was killed. And I have to admit, I'm intrigued by the final two books (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

The Queen: (view spoiler)[ I liked getting to see the Queen during her Selection days and also seeing the King before he was the douche we know in the series. The Queen was very demure and very much the 'I will do anything my husband asks' type. (hide spoiler)]

I love the reaction ahrens had to eadlyn's selection. Omg marlee had a son. I wonder if eadlyn will fall for him. Oh wow gavril is still there. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[
Of course shes scared. Bookworms are not annoying. She was very rude about the one entry and to find out henri doesnt speak english. So how was he to get everything correct. (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[
I feel like she was like her mother at that young age. She needs to change. She is def spoiled. I would be scared as well. I hope jack leaves. I wonder if kile will come. Im so happy ahren punched jack and im glad jacks leaving. I cant believe he touched her like that. (hide spoiler)]
finished (view spoiler)[
That was nice of her to bring camille. Wow she hit it but her dad couldnt lol i never would have guessed she’d play. Omg ahren married her without telling anyone. Is the queen going to die? Wow shes going to finish the selection and get married. She really changed her mind.

The Prince: (view spoiler)[ I enjoyed being in Maxon's head and seeing how he dealt with the beginning of the Selection. He does have a little conceited side but I guess when you're a prince it's expected lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

The Guard: (view spoiler)[ Umm this didn't really endear me to Aspen that much and I'm pretty sure that was the point of this. IDK, I never felt their relationship to begin with and in this it just seemed like Aspen was grasping - afraid to let go of his past. I think if the author had wanted us to feel more torn in the love triangle, we shouldn't need a novella to show us one of the guys - we should have felt it in the book itself. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

The Favorite: (view spoiler)[ I really liked Marlee and was happy to see some things from her POV. Her and Carter were adorable and probably have the best love story in the set. Also really happy they got their happy ending and Maxon pardoned them. (hide spoiler)]

Just started “The Elite”. It seems like the book is starting exactly where it left off. Even though I just started, I already cannot put this book down! I’ll post another update once I get into the book more.

[Jenn]

Scenes from Celeste: (view spoiler)[I don't think I would have liked to have been in Celeste's head early on, because like most people, I disliked her greatly. But seeing her throughout the series and what becomes of her, I'm glad we got these little snippets. (hide spoiler)]

After The One: (view spoiler)[ Short but cute announcement that America is pregnant. It was nice to see a little part of their life after the selection where they can just be together. Also, some familiar faces appearing. (hide spoiler)]

Where are they now: (view spoiler)[ I wish she would have done some of the other girls along with the ones she showed. Kriss's was a little sad of course but I liked Elise's and was happy to see her find her place with her family. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 1-6: (view spoiler)[ Well Eadlyn is a little spoiled brat now isn't she? Talk about elitist. Also, am I wrong in thinking that Kile is going to play a role in this? Their animosity towards each other seems to good to pass up. It's also nice to see past characters still around. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 7-12: (view spoiler)[ Oh yeah Eadlyn is a brat. How she treats everyone is horrible. Even seeing it through her eyes doesn't make it better. Also, totally called it between her and Kile. I also kind of adore Henri and his translator. He's just so happy all of the time. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 13-18: (view spoiler)[ She literally just insulted the hell out of her maid and then was upset when the maid left! She's freaking clueless as to how the world works and honestly, I don't think she would make a good queen because of it. Also Kile is way too nice for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 19-24: (view spoiler)[ The cooking idea was really cute. I have a feeling though she's starting to see Erick as a suitor and not just a translator which could go really bad. And while I like him and Henri, even Hale, I'm still partial to Kile because I love the good ole hate to love trope. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Meant to comment again sooner. Ch 14 (view spoiler)[I cannot believe Maxon was so forthcoming with Gavril!. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Ch 17(view spoiler)[oh Maxon has some big thigns to think about now! . (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[I am glad she is telling Aspen how it is for now. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ So many things! Eadlyn was such a bitch to her brother all because she's selfish! Then her mother having a heart attack. I swear, if Cass ends this the same with a parents death..just no. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 1-6: (view spoiler)[Well, at least she's trying..I 'm still finding it very hard to sympathize with her. Also, I'm not sure I trust this Marid guy. Very convenient timing. I also still don't trust Ean very much. (hide spoiler)]

[min sung ellie]

The Elite 47% (view spoiler)[ I definitely ship Mason and America but I have a bad feeling America is going to get caught with Aspen. I do not want her to end up like Marlee. The author is such an amazing writer, and I really feel like I’m connecting with the characters. I felt so sad when Marlee got beaten up and was kicked out. I really hope it doesn’t happen to America. I also really want more action scenes that envolve the war. I would like to learn more about the world they live in. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 7-12: (view spoiler)[ Ugh I feel like this thing with Marid is baaaddddd. Also, I really adore Henri but how could that possibly work? (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 13-18: (view spoiler)[ So now she's going to be Queen. Is is sad that my first thought wasn't, oh this is sweet she's doing something for her family? But she is getting better. Also, called it with Ean being gay. I'm actually very happy Cass is showing diversity here. Didn't expect it from Hale but I knew he needed to leave anyway. It's probably going to come down between Kile and Henri with some Erick drama thrown in. (hide spoiler)]

[min sung ellie]

Up to Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Even though Maxon was caught with Celeste, I truly believe he still loves America. I think Maxon was just giving Celeste want she wants: him. Celeste does not care about the responsibilities of being a queen, she just wants to be a One and marry Maxon. I thought that America was going to have a great shot at the presentation, but I disappointed when she did not really have a specific plan and could not answer the queen's question on how she would put her plan into action. I really hope America realizes that she will be a great queen, and chooses to be with Maxon. (hide spoiler)]

[min sung ellie]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ The author tricked us! I honestly thought America was going back home, but she is not! Check out my full review of the book here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 19-25: (view spoiler)[ Ok Marid is a slimeball and I hope they can deal with him without causing too much turmoil. I knew something would happen with Erick, but I keep thinking about poor Henri :( He's such a sweetie and is trying soooo hard. Sigh, and I guess I was wrong about Kile. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Well that surprised me. I kinda teared up a few times and I didn't expect that. I'm really glad that Henri was super happy for Erick and that Kile is getting his dream. Even Hale with being the designer of the wedding dress. Also, way to take charge there Queen. Oh and Lady Bryce is her aunt?? What?? Maxon's dad was a bigger douche than we knew! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]
