The Elite (The Selection, #2)

2013 | Romance | Science Fiction/Fantasy | Young Adult (YA)

The Selection began with thirty-five girls.
Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen?

America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

The Elite ( The Selection 2)
By Kiera Cass
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In America Singer's world, a bride is chosen for the prince through an elaborate televised competition. In the second book of the Selection series, America is one of only six girls left in the running. But is it Prince Maxon - and life as the queen - she wants? Or is it Aspen, her first love?
 

Honestly loved this book the last few chapters had be so emotional I think any book that brings your emotions out has to be a 5⭐. We see America go through all sorts of emotions in this book, I don’t really trust Macon but hell they make a cute couple.

I am still unexpectedly enjoying this series. I am slightly frustrated that the "selection" is cleared being dragged across 3 books, (I hope it's only 3) but aside from that I am building connections to all the characters. If it's more than 3 books though I think the next one will be my last!!

Hmmm...well firstly: America did my head in in this. The way she was blaming Maxon for things he had no control over? I wanted to smack her a few times until she saw sense. He isn't King yet, he cant tell his dad what to do! Ugh! So annoying!

As for Maxon, he may have done things I didn't like in this with regard to the other girls in the Selection but as he pointed out numerous times; he needed a back-up in case America chickened out, so I don't blame him one bit.

And as for Aspen, he annoyed me too. Interfering bugger!

I really hope America gets her act together so she can be The One that Maxon chooses but if not Kriss seems like a nice enough girl...

The Elite is the second book in the Selection series by Kiera Cass. It follows the progress of the Selection's participant America Singer, and her struggles within the palace.

First of all, I'd like to say that this book was actually a lot better than I had originally expected it to be. I'm not much into romances, and the main plot of this is relatively predictable, but there are definitely some unique aspects. Honestly, the situation with Marlee was just... awful. But in a good way. I mean, it was written wonderfully, and it made me really angry. But Maxon managed to bring it around so well, in a way that I really wasn't expecting (and neither was America!).

As for the king's reaction... I really wasn't expecting that either. I think it really brings some depth to Maxon's character, and some suspense to America's fight within the contest.

One thing I'm not so sure about is the way America just decides to accept the way Maxon flirts with the other girls. I understand that he has to have a back-up in case things don't work out with his first choice, but I would not be as calm as her about it. She does get a little upset by it, but I just feel like Maxon's just that bit shallower thanks to his relationships with the other girls.

America continues to be a strong character, and as defiant as ever. But something about her was missing in this sequel. I'm not sure, perhaps she seemed a little less passionate in this book or something. Something with her just didn't seem quite right.

Anyway, I did enjoy this book. There's a decent amount of action with the rebel attacks, and a fair amount of romance (if you're into that kinda thing). Some parts were a bit rushed in my opinion, but there were multiple unexpected, unique parts too. I think The Elite just about deserves 4 stars.
