What a beautiful way to end this journey America has gone on! Definitely my favorite book in the series! So many moments were devastating, and others so wonderful, but it all just made sense together! I loved every bit of it!

I read this book in one day. I originally started this series not expecting much beyond a naive romance story however I can now say it’s much more than that. 

This book progressed quickly from the start, with multiple plot points and key moments coming in fast. Then, about halfway, it started to take a very emotional turn, so much so I even cried at the end. 

Overall, this book really exceeded my expectations. Am I mad about (spoiler alert) Celeste being killed off right after having the best character development ever?? Yes. And I think that’s what makes this book so great - I’ve gotten so genuinely attached to the characters that I simply want nothing bad to happen to them in their messed up world. 

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the books progress for the last two parts. The story has got me hooked and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!!

Jag fortsätter att förvånas av att the Selection är så bra. Jag trodde inte det här när jag började läsa. 

I den tredje och sista delen i the Selection serien med America som huvudperson. Det finns två till böcker med en annan huvudperson. 

Urvalet är snart över och America är kvar. Kan kronan och Maxon bli hennes? Vill hon det, kan hon det? Ja och America ska ge allt för ett sista försök att vinna. Samtidigt som urvalet pågår är rebellerna aktiva och attackerna blir värre. Men vad gör man om man tycker de har rätt? Kan hon kanske förändra världen som prinsessa? 

I den utvalda får man veta vem som Maxon väljer, frågan är bara om det är America eller någon av de andra tjejerna? 

Detta är en fantasy och dystopisk bok. Den fokuserar på kärlek, vänskap och intriger samtidigt som de befinner sig i en värld som är allt annat än perfekt. Skulle rekommendera boken till unga tjejer (och andra) som är 12+.
