Review: The One. #3 in The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

My Rating: ✯✯✯✯✩ 

Genre: YA, Dystopian, Romance 

Publication Date: May 06th 2014

‘The One’, number 3 in The Selection Series, concludes the trilogy depicting Americas struggle to win Prince Maxon’s heart in the competition of The Selection. This one is the first to heavily work in the Rebellion plot but it felt like Cass had some trouble keeping the Batchelor style completion going wile fleshing out the North and South rebellion side story.

Its always difficult to have a satisfactory ending to an interesting dystopian concept but all things considered Cass does a pretty good job concluding this story. The concept got me hook line and sinker and I read the entire book in one day. Her writing style is entertaining and easy which makes it so easy to forget that its 3am and you have work in the morning but just can’t put the book down.

My favourite element of this series is the relationship and conversations between the girls in the Selection. I particularly enjoy that everyone has some sort of motivation or hidden agenda, even America.

I highly recommend this series for anyone thats a YA dystopian love story fan. Its a fun series that I can see a lot of people appreciating as distraction from work or time killing entertainment during travel.


If you don't want to guess at who Prince Maxon chooses don't read the next paragraph. Just know theres going to be another book out this year.








There is a 4th book  'The Heir' due out on the 5th of May 2015 that follows the Selection story of Princess Eadlyn, the daughter of America Singer and Prince Maxon. This will be interesting because unlike the previous three books we’re already in love with the King and Queen. Its also going to be a fun change to get a Bachelorette male selection.



Kiera Cass has also revealed on her website that there will be a 5th book which will conclude the series and Eadlyns story some time in 2016.

A companion to the Selection series will also be out on the 6th of October 2015 called 'Happily Ever After' that will include all of the novellas, a map, illustrations and a heap of other bits and pieces about the series.
