The One by Kiera Cass
2.0
This book was going to be so much better than the other ones. Unfortunately, the ending was not so great. I hated how the ending was convenient. Every character except for America had a convenient end. America was the only one to actually progress to her ending point.
Aspen: Conveniently falls in love with Lucy.
Maxon: Conveniently hates America for a few pages and then takes a bullet for her and loves her again. And then marries her.
King Clarkson: Conveniently dies.
And the list goes on and on. Also, the sudden action at the end -- where did that come from? I felt like I was finally reading the actiony dystopian novel this book tries to be.
This trilogy overall was average, writing wise. Some character development would have been nice, aside from the main character and a few of her counterparts. These books are good while you read them, and then after that not so much. Overall, this series earns a 2.5-3 star rating.
