Yes yes yes. If you’ve stuck with the series until The One, you will love it. It has all the ingredients that make the Selection books so addicting, and puts them on steroids. Angst! Rebel attacks! Politics! Kissing! More kissing! Plot twists!
I think The One is the strongest book in the series so far. There was no dull moment in there, and a lot less angsting than we had in The Elite. America finally makes a choice, and sticks with it. I liked how there was more of a focus on the politics and the rebels, without taking away from the Selection process and the smooching. It was also fun to see a more human side of certain characters who have been rather one-dimensional up until now.
The One filled me with the warm and fuzzies. It has the perfect amount of darkness to keep it interesting, but not too much to make it depressing. I’m actually very glad there will be more books in the series, although the main story line is wrapped up, I think there is still a lot of potential for a book or two.
The Selection changed America Singer’s life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen—and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she’s made her choice . . . and she’s prepared to fight for the future she wants.
