Book Review of The One by Kiera Cass

Book Review: (SPOILER FREE)
Title & Author- The One by Kiera Cass
Genre- Young Adult, Teen Fiction, Dystopian, Romance
The One by Kiera Cass
Rating- 4/5
Synopsis- "THE SELECTION changed the lives of thirty-five girls forever. Now, only one will claim Prince Maxon’s heart…

It’s swoon meets the Hunger Games in the final instalment of THE SELECTION trilogy!

For the four girls who remain at the palace, the friendships they’ve formed, rivalries they’ve struggled with and dangers they’ve faced have bound them to each other for the rest of their lives.

Now, the time has come for one winner to be chosen.

America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown – or to Prince Maxon’s heart. But as the competition approaches its end and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realises just how much she stands to lose – and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants.

The breathtaking finale to THE SELECTION trilogy will make you swoon!"
Review-  Although the ending felt somewhat concluded, I couldn't help but feel this book's ending was rushed and considering this is the final book in the trilogy, it was a major let down for me.  One of the big things that annoyed me was how it seemed like the story was stretched out and then wrapped up quickly in the end.  Cass left me with many unanswered questions that I wanted answered and after finishing the book I felt like there was so much potential to have a fourth and final book- at least for the world's sake.  The world- what will become of the world?!  The rebels, the wedding, the relationships: I know there's more to the story.  However, contradicting myself, I don't want her to write another book.  I got irritated with the little things that happened within each event or with an individual person or situation between certain people.  Too much happened where I got annoyed (especially with America) that I don't want another book but at the same time, I do!

I can't continue with my list of issues without getting into spoilers so I'm gonna leave you with this; Despite all the annoyances I had with story, I still loved the entire trilogy and would defiantly recommend it!
