Maxon and America have my vote as a good couple. In fact, I actually liked Maxon more than anything and would gladly read a whole novel about him, given that he retained that sense of vulnerability and weakness that I saw in his short story. They don’t even know each other, and what’s more, after reading The Prince short story, I actually really appreciate how Maxon first meets America. They don’t immediately fall in love in The Selection. Ignoring for a moment the extra unwanted limb that makes up the compulsory love triangle, Aspen, then you have a good relationship going on between America and Maxon. What the One and the whole Selection series does really well is explore the relationship between America and Maxon. Barely, but after thinking over it, it is a pro.
#BONUS STORY ENDING TO THE ONE BY KIERA CASS PRO#
I have really tried to find at least one pro that I could talk about for this book. It’s a love story plain and simple, and while it’s fair enough that it needed three books to explore the relationship between America and Maxon, I also felt it was highly unnecessary.įirst off, let me talk about the pro: I have tried.

It’s the Bachelor reworked and something like the Princess and the Pea all messed up. IT DRIVES ME NUTS.Īnd This Is Why The One In All It’s Perfect Glory Lost Me.įrom the very beginning of this series, I haven’t loved the story. If the main protagonist can do everything in a very mary sue/gary stu way, then really, what’s the point of reading the book? It’s even worse when the personality of that character is absolutely charming and has the most personable personality in the world. Even though this book does have its pros, alot of the time, I was banging my head on the desk asking myself, why is America so hard to relate to? Why is she so damn perfect? There is one thing that I really hate in this world: A Much Too Perfect Protagonist. Three stars is a generous rating from me, I think.
