Publisher's summary

The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown - or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose - and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Happy ending after all!

Well, because I thought I didn't know what was coming, I got tense while reading the book. I even had to stop listening for a while until I felt safe and sure I wanted to continue. I was rooting for our America.

There were some events I saw coming, and some other twists that could have been nicer and more intrieguing, but the author didn't do anything about it, so those details were just revealed and nothing happened. That part was disappointing. I think the author could have done really nice things with those new twists.

Through the ending some other things were a little predictable, but what I liked most about this book was the fact that we saw America not only as the brave girl who fights and stands up to the man, but a girl who has teenage conflicts and emotions and she is very confused until the last hour and a half of listen.

Another thing I have to point out is that everything fitted into place. There was no final major conflict for America to resolve. The author could have done something about it too. It would have been spicier.

I loved this book, nonetheless, and I do recommend it. It is truly a YA with lots of teen drama, but it is a very nice read / listen.

These are great books!

I love these books. Such a great series! Wonderful love story. Sometimes it's a little funny to hear a girl doing a guy's voice but easily ignored.

Oh my...

Wow, such an explosive end to this series. I never saw it coming, such a great way to end the series and on such true words, "this isn't happily ever after, it's so much more than that!"

Worthy ending to a fun trilogy

Ongoing excitement with rebel attacks on the palace and continuing gaffes by the prince's favorite.

Typical

Your typical love story. It was pretty predictable, but the author did a good job creating enough drama for you to second guess your thoughts. Finally, the truth comes out about so many in the story. A secret insider causing attacks on the royals. A father with a secret. Who will get their happily ever after? Whose secret will come out? Which one will be chosen, if any?

Interesting…

I liked the series. It was fun and kept me entertained. The book had a few sexual parts in the book but the book is more for tweens, teens and adults so I think it is fine. To be honest, America and Maxon annoyed me often. Although, their love story ends with a happy ending, it was a rollercoaster. If you have read or listened to the first 2 books, you would know that America has been unfaithful to Maxon at times. It annoys me because she gets so jealous at Maxon when the other girls do anything with him but yet there is some kind of excuse of “cheating.” She also could be very petty and pathetic at times. Maxon made me mad because when he was upset with America, he would talk to her in a belittling way. The book had me feeling as if their relationship was toxic and beautiful throughout of the book. I did cry at the end of the book because it was a picture perfect love ending. If you have read or listened to the first 2 books, might as well read this one. Might love it, might hate it. It is controversial. Sorry this review was just me blabbering for way too long. Have a nice day.
