The One by Kiera Cass
5.0
Now this is the way to end your series!!!! The One by Kiera Cass is the exciting conclusion to the Selection series. America has made it to the top, she knows her feelings for the Prince and now it's just a matter of winning his trust and his love. But does she have the courage it takes to be what he needs....a queen.
After a very disappointing America in The Elite, I was happy to see the girl I fell in love with back in the last installment of the series. America is back to herself. She's confident, she knows what she wants, and she will do whatever it takes to get it. She's a girl in love. No more wishy-washy feelings, no more hiding. She wants to be Maxon's bride and she will do whatever it takes to earn his trust, love and respect back.
Prince Maxon however was more than a little disappointing during this book. He went from being the naive prince to this guy that I hardly recognized. He can be a bit rude to America, he's actually fallen for another girl in the Elite and he almost comes off as a player. This is all what America sees. Maybe I read to much into him, but I expected better from him. I know he's heartbroken, he's scared of committing to America, and this is his one shot at true love, but really?! You have to date the other girls.....frustrating! It's why I don't watch The Bachelor.
The rebels are getting bolder after America's stunt in the last book which infuriates the king. He's a scary dude, calculating and cunning, not to mention he hates America. Between him and the rebel attacks, along with new information about the founder of their country, things escalate in this book. It becomes more about what is happening outside the castle instead of on the relationship. This book is why the series can truly be called a dystopian!
Overall I loved this book and I love the series. I love America and I love Maxon! The only thing I took issue with was it was all very anticlimactic. Everything takes place in one chapter, at the end. It was just a little too neat. But otherwise I loved it! Will I ever reread this series? Absolutely!!! Should you read it? YES!!!
This book fulfills #51 on the COYER Summer Scavenger Hunt 2015
