She also puts a sad part before a really happy part like on page 268 of the 3rd book (The One) where Prince Maxon asks America to be his 1 she says yes but then he finds out about her and Aspen, which turns into a fight and he almost sends her home. This is one memory of what happened before the Selection. I could still remember the scars on Jemmy’s tiny back. Like on page 229 of the 1st book (The Selection) where she is talking to Prince Maxon about all of the huger problems that she and many other deal with. Kiera Cass also uses flashbacks in order to give the reader an understanding point of what the character has faced. I think the author put in such a caring character because it can show various ways of friendship and support. She almost gets kicked out, but stereotypical, Prince Maxon comes to the rescue and sends someone else home. Like on page 271 of the Elite when she says to the whole world, "I think that we should eliminate the castes".
The unpredictable thing is that she will continually fight for what she thinks is right. It's predictable because of America (A contestant in the Selection) was Prince Maxon's pick to become the next queen because of her sharing her secrets and his affection towards her are just a few of the reason Prince Maxon love America the way he does. This is a lesson that we all should learn and The One illustrates this in a high-spirited tale of a certain love triangle.It is a unpredictable and predictable book. I think that the book tells us to follow what you know is right and fix what you know is wrong, even if it puts you in danger. I recommend The One to teen girls (and some boys who have read books like Divergent and The Hunger Games) because even though it seems to be a girly princess book, it covers real problems in our societies and has some very adult problems in it that we can all relate to. Usually, I don’t like a love triangle but I think that this book played the situation without flaw.
The love connection was something that got me as well. It is a very diverse novel and most people find something to love about it. I also love how it has some girly moments with makeup and dresses but it also has some intense moments with the rebels.
She is such a spunky and relatable girl that readers can really connect to and to laugh with. I think I personally liked the book because of America. This book is one of my favorites because of the interesting elements in it. But when Maxon finds out America has been seeing the guard Aspen, what will happen to the crown? When she gets back, she is surprised to find that she and another girl are the only two left and the winner will be announced tomorrow. Suddenly, America’s life changes drastically when she goes home for a family problem. When America goes up she shows mercy towards the prisoner and gets in trouble with the king, who thinks America is the wrong choice for Maxon. A little while later, the four girls that are left have to do the Convicting, in which they have to convict a sentence of time to criminals because of their crimes, mostly related to stealing for their families, which is a huge problem in their society. As, America and Maxon go to see the rebels again, they are attacked by a band of hungry eights and she is hurt. At the start of The One, America and Maxon are visited by rebels who say that Maxon should choose America to be the princess because since she is such a rule breaker, to help him get rid of the caste system. Now that America is part of the Elite, a group of six girls that Maxon has to choose from, (the others have been eliminated) she says that she is going to fight for Maxon.
Then a former lover, Aspen, once a six but now a two because of his position as a palace guard, comes and confuses America’s love life with Maxon. Soon, she falls in love with Prince Maxon. America is picked for the selection and is thrown into a world of glittering gowns and jewels that a five should have never been able to see. To keep the bloodline going, Prince Maxon has a selection, picking 35 girls to compete for his heart. In the previous books, The Selection and The Elite, America Singer lives in futuristic America that has become a monarchy with a caste system, ranging from the ones, who are the royal family to the eights, who live on the streets. Firey and lovable, this book is a fantastic new section to add on to the already great trilogy. I have read some other books reviews for this online and people say they did not like it but I loved this book! It was an exciting tale with no fillers. Yes it is about being a girly princess but I think fantasy is a bit strong for the genre of novel this is. Some people classify it as a fantasy novel but I tend to disagree. It is a Dystopian young adult fiction book. I encourage you to read her other installments in the series, The Selection and The Elite, before you read The One. The One by Kiera Cass is the last book in The Selection Trilogy.
