This series is like a trashy reality show and I love it. It’s like the Bachelor, but in a castle.
While America irked me at times, I was ROOTING for her. I’m so glad she finally broke it off with Aspen because they were playing a dangerous game in the second book. Maxon was also a bit annoying at times in the sense that he kept telling America she was the one, but he wouldn’t say “I love you” and he kept leading Kriss on too. Honestly, this series would only be one book long if America and Maxon just communicated. I also feel like the ending was so rushed and the interesting plot twists had no effect on the storyline.
Overall, I did enjoy this series, I just wish the ending was more thought out.
