Book Review: The Favorite by Kiera Cass (A Selection novella (Book 2.75))

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 13 and up This book was a little too short, hitting barely 40 pages in eBook format; I felt that it was the opposite of some of the other novellas which were too long and regurgitated the plot. This book, however, showed us events in a new perspective and I really enjoyed reading it. ——————————————– Marlee has committed a crime. She has fallen in love. With someone other than the prince. Marlee is at the Selection, an event that occurs when girls compete for the prince’s hand in marriage. However, Marlee … Continue reading Book Review: The Favorite by Kiera Cass (A Selection novella (Book 2.75))

Book Review: The Prince by Kiera Cass (A Selection Novella)

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 13 and up This book was extremely short and I felt that a lot of the content was the same as the Selection. I don’t understand why the author would copy and paste scenes from her book to make a novella. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read. —————————————– Prince Maxon must choose a wife from 35 eligible girls. This process is known as the Selection. When a heir to the kingdom comes of age, it is customary to hold a Selection to choose his future wife. However, Maxon isn’t open to … Continue reading Book Review: The Prince by Kiera Cass (A Selection Novella)

Book Review: The Heir by Kiera Cass (Book Four of the Selection Series)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommendation: 14 and up This book was a lot more appealing to me because it was written from the point of view of a princess rather than the prince. However, this book had a cliffhanger and Ms. Cass just has to write another one now. Also, there are two fantastic book covers for this book so I’m going to include them both! Feel free to comment and tell me which one you like better! ——————————————— The future queen of Illea is standing in front of her people, ready to announce the biggest … Continue reading Book Review: The Heir by Kiera Cass (Book Four of the Selection Series)

Book Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass (Book 2 of the Selection Series)

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommendation: 13 and up I felt that a fair bit of this book was redundant and that this book could easily be added into The One (The Third book of the Selection series) and it wouldn’t make that big of a difference. ——————————————– America has made it to the top six girls in the Selection- an elaborate process determining the future queen of Illea. America’s love, Aspen, has become a guard in the royal palace in order to get closer to America but the prince and future king, Maxon, is vying … Continue reading Book Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass (Book 2 of the Selection Series)

Book Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up This book was similar to the Hunger Games and Divergent series in that the story takes place after a huge war that causes wide scale destruction in The United States of America. However, I found this book to be more appealing since it doesn’t have as much gore and violence. —————————————– When the United States of America is destroyed, a new world called Illea is created. A world with new rules, new rulers, and no democracy. The people of this nation are divided into castes- there are Ones, which are … Continue reading Book Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass
