You guys would probably worry about the choice America would make in this last book, but honestly, there's not much of an option here. Her final decision was her initial decision.
Read on below for more discussion!
The One by Kiera Cass (The Selection Series)
So for those of you who want a heads up, but not entirely spoil the book, here's a notice: 4 important people died in this book. I'll leave it to you to guess who they are, or just go ahead and read the book!
Warning: Major Spoilers!
So I don't know how to give a professional review, but one thing for sure, I thought this book was awesome.
I gotta say, the 'final decision' was actually quite obvious. Unless some major twists are applied in this book, the answer was right there from the first book. Kind, attractive, and thoughtful... you're right: it's our beloved Prince Maxon Schreave! And I believe all of you, like me, would love the ending that will leave you in tears of joy.
Maxon was just perfect. During the time she left the palace to attend her father's funeral (discussed later on), he spent his entire time thinking about America, and writing to her. That was SO SWEET. Like, he could have spent his time with the other girls, but he didn't, he was just right there waiting for her.
In the previous books, America would go behind his back to be with Aspen, I feel so sorry for Maxon. It's like wanting to shout to her, Why would you do that to the one that's been thinking about you all the time, and entirely wants you to be happy?
Fortunately, their problems were solved. And they know that they'll be facing hard times in the future that could probably bring their relationship to a sore spot. But with what they've been through, all the arguments, indecision, and misunderstandings - their relationship have been built on a strong foundation.
And before this final decision thing, there's Maxon sacrificing his own life for America even after knowing Aspen had been the one she's been seeing all this time in the palace. That part was so sad.
But yes, the ending was so beautiful. Even Aspen gets to be with the love of his life, Lucy. (this was kind of a shocker to me)
Celeste. I seriously don't know about this girl. She was the most evil thing in the whole world, and in the blink of an eye - she's the sweetest thing ever. Wow. Sometimes I just don't get how these twists work in stories - they just change things. (well, duh)
But yes, her death was really sad for me. Even when I really wished something would just happen to her when reading the previous books. Now I hoped she could've just survived that attack and come visit America in the palace with her advice. ('Cause you can always use an advice from an ex-villain)
Celeste was one of the important deaths, another one that really broke my heart: America's Dad, Shalom Singer.
Mr. Singer was just so understanding, he's always been there for America when she needed someone. She could always count on him for advice. Now, he was gone. Like, just GONE. He should've been the one that's resting America's hand on Maxon, to give her permission to marry; which had been her lifelong wish - but no such luck. Aspen gets the job.
Queen Amberly, the beautiful, lovely queen. I was really hoping she would be looking after America, and finally having another child to take care of. But why does she have to die??? Queen Amberly died an honorable death, a selfless death. A selfless sacrifice that gained her respect even to the end of her life.
The last death was King Clarkson's, the one that I thought would be coming sooner or later in the book. I believe almost every fan of the series looked forward for this arrogant, spiteful king would leave their lives at some point. Though deaths are unpleasant things to hope for, and could be quite evil, I wasn't as sad for his death as I have been for the others. But being optimistic, the king was respectable for his act of service to the country, though not perfect, he tried to become an honorable ruler.
And I just have to say, to those of you who haven't read the book, look forward to the marriage proposal. Because it was beautiful!!! Enough said, read the ONE!
