I’m pretty sure that I’ve never read as quickly as I did with these books. My best friend Marissa lovingly described them as “book crack.” She couldn’t be more right.
PLOT SUMMARY OF THE ONE BY KIERA CASS SERIES
The fourth book (which will not be the last in the series – at least one more is planned), The Heir, focuses on Princess Eadlyn who is the first female heir to the throne and has a Selection of her own in order to distract the nation with happy news and shift the people’s focus away from uprising and discrimination.ĭuring my reading this past weekend I posted a picture of The Selection on Instagram and explained how fast I was tearing through these books. The last few girls that remain in the contest become the Elite, and the one he eventually chooses is the One.
PLOT SUMMARY OF THE ONE BY KIERA CASS PLUS
At the palace, the girls are in a Bachelor-type situation, minus the roses, plus rebel attacks on the palace that the Selected have to cope with. Then an opportunity for the Singer family comes in the form of the Selection which allows girls between 16-20 to apply for a “lottery” to be chosen as one of 35 girls to move into the royal palace in Angeles and compete to win the heart of Prince Maxon Schreave and therefore the crown.Īmerica really struggles with her adjustment to becoming one of the Selected girls and having to leave Aspen, her secret Six boyfriend, behind. They aren’t well-off by any means being in the bottom half of the caste system and sometimes they struggle. America and her family are Fives along with other musicians, artists and performers.
Castes in Illea (North America) go from One to Eight with One being the highest social status that a person can attain, and Eight the absolute lowest – mostly all Eights are homeless. It was Cohen before that, which is my maiden name – thought that was interesting). The first three books ( The Selection, The Elite, and The One) focus on America Singer, a beautiful and talented musician growing up in a somewhat dystopian, caste-based society (side note: when the castes were established America’s ancestors received word that their surname had changed to Singer. I was lucky enough that my library finally had The Selection, The Elite, The One, and The Heir in all at once so I grabbed them all and started my journey. This is how I read the entire Beautiful Creatures series too – just had all 4 and plowed through them in a row. When I read YA books in series it really makes the most sense for me to have every available book in the series accessible to me because I read very quickly and even more so when it is YA. I don’t know how my co-workers or people that I run into in the grocery store would would feel, but it would sure make me happy.
Seriously, I would really like it if my whole closet was filled with dresses like that. This is the first time I’ve ever reviewed an entire series at once, so bear with me! It is really hard to keep a review like this spoiler-free, since I feel like the titles of the books themselves completely give everything away, so if you are nervous about accidentally finding out anything that happens in later books I would suggest skipping over this review, though I will do my absolute best to be careful.Įver since I noticed these books around Goodreads and the book blogosphere I was totally intrigued by how beautiful the covers are.
