Yes, I know that there are even more books about before the Selection and after the Selection and who knows.. maybe I will read them one day but right now I think I'm done with this series. In a good way though!
I enjoyed the ending and I liked it even though I still believe that this series could have been way shorter and it obviously has many flaws. The world building was weak and there are many plot holes. Many things are never really explained and some parts if the story are not well thought through.
It's definitely not a masterpiece but that did not make me enjoy it less. It felt old and made me feel kind of nostalgic even though I have never read it before. I liked it and it was a cute enough romance.
My rating is 4 stars even though rationally it is not as good as most other books I have rated 4 stars but since I did enjoy it I don't want to give it less.
I still don't particularly care about all the characters and I thought it was really strange how the author just killed so many off for plot convenience in the end.
Maxon needed to be king so obviously his parents die, Anne had a crush on Aspen but he chose Mary so obviously she dies and Celeste was a bad person and even though she is now redeemed she still has to pay for what she did and dies.
I guess I just wish America was a bit more independent and not so much a 'not-like-other-girls' girl.

I den tredje och sista delen i the Selection serien med America som huvudperson. Det finns två till böcker med en annan huvudperson.
Urvalet är snart över och America är kvar. Kan kronan och Maxon bli hennes? Vill hon det, kan hon det? Ja och America ska ge allt för ett sista försök att vinna. Samtidigt som urvalet pågår är rebellerna aktiva och attackerna blir värre. Men vad gör man om man tycker de har rätt? Kan hon kanske förändra världen som prinsessa?
I den utvalda får man veta vem som Maxon väljer, frågan är bara om det är America eller någon av de andra tjejerna?
Detta är en fantasy och dystopisk bok. Den fokuserar på kärlek, vänskap och intriger samtidigt som de befinner sig i en värld som är allt annat än perfekt. Skulle rekommendera boken till unga tjejer (och andra) som är 12+.

the ending was so weird though. so much happened randomly and quickly, it was very jarring. some of the characters in this book also do things that are totally out of their character construction and it's not really addressed why they did that in this book.
