Call me a glutton for punishment since I didn't like The Selection series but I decided to check this out at the library and skim it like I did with the first series. Like a soap opera the book does have an addicting quality despite its very poor world building and plot. It does make you want to keep reading. I skimmed the first like 15% or however long it took until the Selection got under way and then my interest grew. I think I liked this one better because I liked Eadlyn and Kile way better than America and Maxon. I hated America and Maxon. Kile is awesome. I really like Hale, Henri, Erik, and a few of the other guys too. I also think I just liked that it was from the other perspective. The selector and the genders were switched which is interesting. If I take the book as a fluffy fun romance I can kind of enjoy it. The setting as to what is happening in the world is completely lacking but I just ignored that and enjoyed the romance drama. LOL I'll check out the next one just to see what happens. I predict drama cause she likes Kile but he wants to leave so maybe Hale would be a better choice but then Kile will be like well I can help my kingdom with my architect drawings and I love you so lets make it work. I'm glad this sequel series will only be two books. I think it could have been just one which I felt was a big problem with the first series and that series should have been wrapped up in only one or two books.
