Painfully bad.

The sound effects and music on this Graphic Audio production were equally terrible.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit! 

While there was a sprinkling of dark themes, overall I felt the book was cozy to read during winter time and I loved the dynamic between the FMC and her best friend and with the MMC. In some books, the best friend gets swept to the side and sometimes even mistreated, but in this case the best friend remains a solid support throughout. 

I was able to predict a few things, however there was still enough to discover throughout the book that it never lost its intrigue.

I thoroughly enjoyed the reality TV gameshow twist in the story where the king attempts to find love. However, the competition needed more challenges for the contestants as the action-filled trials were the most exciting part of the book. Later in the story, Ava discovers that she belongs to the Unseelie, the clan at war with her peers. I am intrigued to see what happens if she chooses to be with the king!

It really is like a mix of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games. There’s mystery and action that keeps your attention and enough sexual tension to satisfy a want of spice.

the way that i blew through this y'all!

i haven't read The Selection, but from what i understand it's basically that but *make it fae*

when i picked it up i wasn't sure how much i'd like it, but i was cackling so much at the first few pages alone i got immediately sucked in. the FMC Ava is spunky and hilarious, the prince Torin is actually a pretty standup MMC, and the competition is fierce. while there are tons of laughs, there's also danger and mystery (with a touch of violence). the buildup and chemistry between Ava and Torin is everythinggggg i was literally screaming NOW KISS at my kindle.

i could see the reveal/twist coming most of the book, but i still enjoyed it.

i'm immediately sprinting to book 2.
