The second book in The Selection series, The Elite, answered
some of the questions I had, but also created a lot more. Prince Maxon is
something of an enigma, and I can’t tell if I love him or hate him. I also
think that America is acting like an idiot sneaking around to see Aspen. Did
she not witness, first hand, what happened to the other girl (notice how I didn’t
tell you the name? I’m so good at not giving out spoilers)?! I really thought (aka
was hoping) that Aspen was going to die during a rebel attack in this book; he doesn’t.
I don’t know why, but I just really don’t like his character at all. It doesn’t
make sense that he wanted America to participate in the selection so she could
have a chance for something more, and then goes about trying to ruin it. I also
HATE the king. You will also hate the king after reading this (if you don’t,
you’re wrong).
This book definitely was a little bit better than the last
one. I’m giving this one a four, mostly because it actually answered some
questions I wanted answered. I think this book went a lot further with the
character development for the main characters. We got to see about twenty different
sides of the prince’s personality, and learn a little bit more about some of
the other girls in the selection, and America’s father (who reminds me a
refined kind of hippy that’s actually kind of cool). I’m really excited to
start the next book, not because I care about what happens in the Selection,
but because I want to know what happens in the country and if there’s a change
in the castes, and what it is exactly that the rebels are looking for. SEE! So
many questions!
