I wonвЂ™t say much on this topic because my first two reviews are about this issue, but suffice to say, the world-building didnвЂ™t magically improve in The One. The world-building never does come together Unfortunately, being slightly more exciting is really the only good thing I can say about this story. I wasnвЂ™t particularly impressed with how or why these events occurred, but they did make The One feel like a much more interesting and fast-paced read than the last two books. Thus, I commend Cass for her significant improvement in having things actually happen in the plot of The One! Instead of sitting in the palace for a couple hundred pages, whining about love and boys, America talks with rebels, gets shot, and tries to be politically manipulative. Admittedly, the author doesnвЂ™t make many good writing choices, but it is important to recognise that even the worst story usually offers readers at least one worthwhile or interesting thing to read. Consequently, I have tried to focus on the concrete things that make the books work or not.

Trying to review The Selection novels has been difficult because itвЂ™s so easy to let a post devolve into pure snark when you are dealing with these stories. Will America win MaxonвЂ™s heart or will she be going home heartbroken? America Singer was pressured into joining the selection, a televised competition between young women vying to be the next princess of Illea, and now she and Prince Maxon must sort out their feelings for one another as a rebellion intensifies in violence around them.
