3net's review against another edition
America Singer is very indecisive. It was already stupid of her to sneak make out sessions with her ex boyfriend while actively dating the prince. I had hope she would stop completely but she resumed as soon as she wasn't in good terms with the prince. She has very little trust in someone she agreed to be married to. What drew the line for me is when she kept doing that after her own best friend was publicly punished for doing the same thing. It's a crime punishable by death in their world but she seems to think she's above all the rules. I also don't really understand why their own castle, supposedly the most protected area keeps getting raided by rebels.
The characters are hard to distinguish. There's not enough to set them apart except the main cast. The world building is intriguing but not well done. I wish they communicated more to resolve misunderstandings. It's a common trope in romance but when it keeps reoccuring, it gets tiring. It made their relationship really weak.

Lika underhållande som förra boken och jag fortsätter att överraskas av hur mycket jag gillar serien.
I andra boken i Selection serien är en fortsättning på urvalet och kampen om Maxons hjärta (och tronen). Det finns bara sex tjejer kvar och fler ska elimineras. Ska America få stanna i tävlingen och hur ser hennes känslor egentligen ut?
Jag fortsätter att rekommenderar boken och den är väldigt underhållande. Målgruppen för boken skulle jag säga är 12+. Detta är en bok med intriger, romans och vänskap och den utspelar sig i en allt annat än perfekt värld. En fantasy (utan magi) och dystopisk bok.
