Painfully bad.

The sound effects and music on this Graphic Audio production were equally terrible.

It really is like a mix of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games. There’s mystery and action that keeps your attention and enough sexual tension to satisfy a want of spice.

the way that i blew through this y'all!

i haven't read The Selection, but from what i understand it's basically that but *make it fae*

when i picked it up i wasn't sure how much i'd like it, but i was cackling so much at the first few pages alone i got immediately sucked in. the FMC Ava is spunky and hilarious, the prince Torin is actually a pretty standup MMC, and the competition is fierce. while there are tons of laughs, there's also danger and mystery (with a touch of violence). the buildup and chemistry between Ava and Torin is everythinggggg i was literally screaming NOW KISS at my kindle.

i could see the reveal/twist coming most of the book, but i still enjoyed it.

i'm immediately sprinting to book 2.

Fantasy where the bachelor meets hunger games and not mad about it. The writing isn’t fantastic and I caught a few editing issues and I’m sure there are plot holes if you think too hard about it, but I liked the story and the tropes - dark broody misunderstood MMC, mysterious feisty strong-willed MFC

Requires the Sequel

I am torn between rating this book a 3 or 4. The main character's motivations are shallow, her past purposely left frustratingly vague. Her relationship with Torin is clearly an enemy to lovers trope that is painstakingly slow to develop and is mostly a tease. Left in a complete cliffhanger. Most goodies promised for the sequel. Yet I wanted to keep reading and still want to follow these characters to the next tale. The world in which the characters live is messy, and complicated. The characters themselves are interesting and their drama promises intrigue. I want to praise the author for these developments. For this, I want to put a 4.

I think I will go with a 3, after writing this all down. The story is purposely left incomplete in order to do a second book. Thus leaving me as a reader unsatisfied and dependent on getting my Ava and Torin fix with a secondary purchase. I, unfortunately, am not made of money, and have to carefully deliberate each purchase. Especially in the current economy. So, it will be some time, most likely, before I can pick up the next. Even though at the moment I really, really want to. This is a testament to the author's writing and storytelling, but use of shameless tactics. As it sits with book one, the story is incomplete. There is not a satisfying conclusion or tie up of at least some events. Majority of what Ava "discovers" by the end didn't take much investigative work and was known, as the reader, before the first half. It needs more. So as a stand alone, yes a 3 rating will do. With its sequel (or sequels?) together, most likely higher.
