controversial but selection is one of my favorite series not because the plot was amazing (it wasn't) but because it's a light romance and can always make me feel better

The books that raised me" 🌌📚

I’m feeling nostalgic with this one. These books have been sitting on my shelf since I was about 12, and they were my first real step into sci-fi and a little bit of Fantasy. I adored this saga—it’s beautifully written, well-paced, and for a little girl like me, it opened my eyes to the fact that I had a voice, that I had things worth saying… and that true love exists (okay, still waiting on that part, lol 💔).

For your teens? 100% go for it. For women in general? Same. This series is worth it.

This plot was good but I feel it could have gone deeper with the feelings. Lots of drama that I normally don’t like to read about because there is enough of that in real life.

This was not a good book at all.. Genuinely surprised so many people actually liked this. The writing was so plain and the characters so dull. Pretty predictable plot and the scenes were so boringgg. I would've given it 0 stars, bit unfortunately that's not possible..
🚩SORT OF SPOILER AHEAD🚩

Some scenes didn't really make sense, but the one that will probably be stuck with me forever is where she literally confessed on LIVE TV and infront of THE KING AND QUEEN to shouting at the prince, their son.. She then giggles as if it's just a casual everyday thing and the king and queen actually LAUGHS WITH HER. It's so stupid and unrealistic.. Who would laugh knowing this random peasant girl humiliated your son (THE FUTURE KING) and then admits it infront of EVERYONE, but no she's so qUirKy and diFfEreNt..

I LOVE THIS BOOK !!!!!
The selection was such a well written nice fluffy romance. The writing style is amazing and let me tell you, I fell hard for prince Maxon 🤣😅. I will say that while in the first book Aspen comes off as charming in the rest of the series he started feeling a bit creepy and relentless, just another reason to love Maxon!
Please comment back if your on team Maxon or team Aspen, I would love to have a friendly debate or just oggle Maxon together 🤣

I did read the first 3 books in order to really understand. America was incredibly annoying and the love triangle pissed me off, I hated the miscommunication in this book. I was actually recommended this and I just didn't end up liking it that much. Its unique in its own way and the writing isn't too bad but it's just not for me.

I'm literally in love with this book oh my gosh... I read it then I decided to read (EVERY SINGLE OTHER BOOK IN) the whole series, which is very long. I cried laughed smiled and squealed from reading this book-- I stayed up *all* night reading it, so it's definitely a 5/5!! :)

En general, el libro es bastante básico y un poco (bastante) cliché, pero para pasar el rato no está mal

Cette saga était vraiment exceptionnel du début à la fin, malgré le fait que je n'aime pas les triangles amoureux celui ci était passable il m'a ennuyé mais le reste effaçait cet ennuie

This is not the best depiction of the romantic competition trope.

I thought this book was cute and enjoyable. It's a tad predictable and formulaic, but has enough plot to keep you reading. Easy beach read for romantic fantasy lovers.
