Salam Ladies! Today I decided to do a mini review on one of the most popular book series by Kiera Cass, "The Selection Series". If you guys are book hoarders like me and basically survive on books than you know what I am talking about.
So a bit of a synopsis. This is a dystopian novel, set in the future in a fictional country called Illea (futuristic America) with several states and the royalty residing in the capital called "Angeles". There is a cast system, 1 (royalty) and 8th (almost homeless) (basically assigning people to a specific cast randomly and assigning a specific profession to each cast). The Selection is a competition and a way to find the future queen of the country. Basically a random selection of common girls to enter in the selection of the future queen as the queen will be one of the commoners living in Illea. 35 girls are chosen to compete for Prince Maxon's heart and become the Queen. While all girls are praying to be selected, America Singer (female protagonist) have to participate against her will because she is already in love.
I am absolutely in love with this series. Firstly because it is totally my type with all the pretty dresses, royalty, castles and a handsome prince (omg Maxon :') ). And Secondly because it is beautifully written. There are some parts to the book that will just stay because they are worded so beautifully that they just make you go Awwwwhhh! Such as this:
How beautifully written <3! The story line is amazing but somewhat predicting. However, there re several twists and turns that are completely unexpected. It is like most dystopian novels where most of the population is poor and the rich capital has its own evil darkness (nothing too huge) which people are not really aware of. Overall a great read, with gorgeous dresses!
