Book Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass

This is the second book of The Selection Trilogy, and it does not disappoint. Only six girls are left to try and capture the heart of Prince Maxon, and America Singer, who seemed to have won his heart in the first novel (but was still unsure of herself) is beginning to have even more doubts. Rebels are attacking the palace more frequently and the tasks that are part of the competition carry more weight (like entertaining foreign diplomats). 

I think what makes me enjoy this series so much is that it was meant to be written as a trilogy. Some more recent YA (young adult) series have started with one book that has been wildly successful, and then the author is able to continue by writing two more books with the middle book often serving as a bridge between the first and third books. This trilogy doesn't seem to be like this, and it's clear the author meant to write the series as three books. This book brings more depth to the characters that are left and answers more questions about what happened to North America, and the United States, in this future society.  

Overall Rating: 4 stars (I liked it)
