Quick Synopsis
The second instalment of 'The Selection' series in which we get a greater insight into the inner workings of the monarchy. The rebels are closer and more thretening than ever and America is starting to see Prince Maxons true colours, but with secrets and lies concealing every move the royal family makes can she trust that what she sees is true?
The competition for the heart of the Prince and the crown is more intense than ever with only 6 girls remaining. America is running out of time to decide if this is a life she can handle living but her indecision may have created an opportunity for the other girls who know exactly what they want.
Review
Interestingly the truth behind the rebel attacks is becoming more and more import to the plot in this series. America is becoming much more aware of the possibility that the rebels, both North and South are not necessarily unorganised and evil but politically motivated and calculating. They want to end The Selection by any means possible but she does not know why.
Americas relationship with her three maids, and the reactions she inspires in them is intriguing and I'm beginning to get the feeling we're supposed to assume America is very popular with lower castes and I'm guessing also the rebels. I hope this plays a bigger part in the next book as it will be interesting to see how a character who never wanted to be royal or even a leader ends up finding something in herself to change a nation.
Or it could go the complete opposite direction and end up all about her choice between Prince Maxon or her first love Aspen.
This book was incredibly fun and became so intense towards the end I ended up reading through most of it in one night. A great second book with decent character development but mostly just a fascinating story.
The final book in the trilogy "The One" will be released in May 2014.
SO EXCITED!
