At first, I have to admit that America was insufferable. America Singer, the protagonist and narrator, had a decent character development through out the 3 books. Basically, this falls under the romance genre - but there are little injections of political and familial drama, bits of rebellion/revolution that somewhat reminds me of the ones in the Red Queen series, though a bit lighter. Taking into account everything that happened, I do think the whole 3 books can be squeezed into one giant tome – with some filler scenes and story lines cut, readers wouldn’t feel too frustrated with how the books were divided.īut I digress. Honestly, if I read The Selection during its first release and the second book is a year away from being published, I would’ve been really frustrated. Of course this is somewhat thanks to the way Kiera Cass ended her books - cliffhangers after cliffhangers, you just can’t help but read the next one at once. I tend to linger - but in this case, I just flipped and flipped and flipped and flipped, and before I knew it, I was through. So basically, it’s like The Bachelor for the royalty.Īnyway, I read this series one lazy afternoon and in roughly a little less than 24 hours (discounting the hours I dedicated for work), and I quickly finished all three! Which is a feat for me, considering the fact that I am a really sloooow reader. The series revolves around America Singer and how her life changed when she was suddenly selected for the Selection, a tradition in their country in which 35 girls are to be selected across all provinces and all castes to have a chance to be the crown prince’s wife - and, in turn, the future queen.
