I'm going to try to make this short and sweet so here we go. What I really like about this series is that the books are fast paced. That being said. As enjoyable as this book was there were some flaws. I hate to say it but America is the biggest issue I have with this book. She's ridiculous. I get that she's in the running to be a princess and it's a big decision but she acts like such a foolish child most of the time. She's impulsive and careless. She's selfish and doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. Ugh and all the bullshit with Aspen! Is she stupid? Didn't she see what happened to Marlee for sneaking around? She does the same thing with Aspen. She's plain reckless. Aspen is worse than she is. He's so manipulative. He loves America and wants her to be happy but then tells her that he doesn't thing that she'd be good at being a princess anyway. He's trying to manipulate her into feeling shittier about herself than she already does so that he will get to be with her rather than Maxon. Meanwhile everyone else America talks to says she will do great but nooo instead she believes Aspen. 
 I'm just happy that these books move fast and are enjoyable. If They were slow and America acted the way she does I don't think I could take it. On to the next book The One.
