Review: The One by Kiera Cass

The One by Kiera Cass
The Selection #3
Publisher: HarperTeen
Published May 6, 2014
Hardcover, 336 pages

Overview:

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.

Review:

I really enjoyed this series! The story itself is interesting and entertaining, even if it is a little predictable at some points (with teenage girls competing for the prince's hand in marriage).

Without giving away too much about the previous books, The One does a good job of tying together many of the questions that were brought up earlier in the series. There's more discussion about the caste system and the rebellions trying to end it, and of course, America finally makes a choice between Prince Maxon and her love from home, Aspen. There's still some drama between the girls competing to be princess, but not too much.

Most of the book had a really good pace, although I thought the ending was a little rushed for all the action that happens in the last section of the book. I would have preferred more of a conclusion, but overall, I enjoyed this book and the series as a whole.

Overall rating: 4 of 5 stars.
