A little young even for a YA, but still really good!! Kept my attention for most of it and even though I wasn’t sold at the beginning, I started to really like the story. And dare I say that I got a few butterflies from Maxon… lol

I don't know why it took me so long to start this series. I probably would have loved it even more if I hadn't been stopping and starting so much - note to self: make sure there's plenty of free time available before starting book 2.

4.5/5 stars

Sentí como si estuviera viendo un programa de supervivencia para ser idol, ahí estaba yo esperando que mis favs no fueran eliminadas (no las sacaron wi)

En general la premisa de la selección se me hizo muy interesante, se desarrolla de manera muy fluida, en un punto no pude para de leer y sin querer ya iba en más del 70% de la lectura.

Aunque debo resaltar que en las últimas partes America me generó estrés, ni yo soy tan indecisa, además si tenía dudas, no debió hacer ciertas cosas que la confundieron más. También me molestó que al inicio siempre mencionara que la gente no debía juzgarla o ser prejuiciosa con ella y al final ella hizo lo mismo com el príncipe (aunque luego se reinvindica)

Maxon siendo todo lo que alguien necesita, quiero meterlo en una cajita de cristal, es todo lo bueno de este libro, la razón por la que me gustó más todo (ya soy fan)

Well this was adorable! I was actually pondering giving this book a 4 as it doesn't pretend to be anything else but a light read. But the final chapter took that one star away. I absolutely hate what Aspen is doing and that America didn't tell him it's obviously against the rules and "law" to have any romantic anything with anybody else while in Selection. Or didn't he know that? The supposedly best in his class while in army training? Because this behaviour will get her kicked out and most probably something even worse, when she applied just because of him. Mkay.
So the award for the worst person goes to....tun tun dun! ASPEN yaaay!

[January 2024 reread] still one of my absolute favorite series! A love triangle done right, action, royalty, and a slight dystopia❤️
