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

Priyanka

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)

My 2015 Reading Challenge: The Halfway Mark

Priyanka

So it’s been exactly six months since I’ve announced my 2015 Reading Challenge, so today, I decided to post an update on how it’s going. In addition, my parents are no longer participating in this challenge 😦 but I would still like recommendations for books in the categories that I have not read yet. As of now, I have finished 12/30 books in my 2015 Reading Challenge. However, school’s out now so hopefully I will be able to write more reviews!   A book that makes you cry- The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and Maybe One Day … Continue reading My 2015 Reading Challenge: The Halfway Mark

Book Review: The One by Kiera Cass (Book three of The Selection series)

Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up I found this book to be the most exciting out of all three in The Selection series and I can’t wait to read The Heir next which is the fourth book in this series that I actually didn’t know existed until the author tweeted about writing a fifth one!! —————————————— America has made it to the top three contestants- however, now she will be put to the real test. America has to see her fellow competitor flogged when she falls in love with a guard at the palace. … Continue reading Book Review: The One by Kiera Cass (Book three of The Selection series)

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

Priyanka

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

Priyanka

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
