The last book in the Selection series, The One, has by far
been my favorite. This book answered all of the questions I had (finally!) from
the previous stories, and shocked me quite a few times with some of the things
the characters stood for. While there were a lot of sad parts, there were a lot
of funny parts to even it out. This book really delivered exactly what I was
hoping it would. There were a lot of characters in here that you learned more
about and loved (Celeste) or hated (Kota) even more (the king). We got to see a
lot more about the rebels, more the northern rebels than the southern ones, but
that definitely made it more interesting. So much happened in this story, and
while I think the love story was a bit predictable, that was actually something
I am really glad stayed constant.
I’m giving this book a 4.5. The characters got better and
better as the story wore on, and the humorous parts were some of my favorites.
I really liked how the author tied the rebels into everything. The father
character for America, and everything she came to in her little realizations
about him, were absolutely fantastic. I had my ideas on that, and I was glad to
see that I wasn’t wrong. In the end, this books was more political than love
story status, and while I do love a good happy ever after, I loved the political
aspects in this book more. The love story made it a better read, and gave it
more character, but I think the themes in this book were way more than that,
and absolutely perfect.
