sykosam YES

+sykosam OMG YES

SAME!!

+sykosam IFKR!!

Yes!! I hate Aspen

+Elizabeth Mae ME TOO! It was like "HOW MUCH FREAKING TIME DO YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT THAT YOU DON'T NEED ASPEN'S SHIT AND YOU DO NEED MAXON BECAUSE HE IS AMAZING AND ADORABLE AND JUST UGH" .........that was basically me the entire series, ok?

+Elizabeth Mae UGH I FREAKING KNOW RIGHT!!!IT IS JUST THREE WORDS AMERICA! I.LOVE.YOU! IT IS NOT THAT HARD!

+Sony Grey Maxon his too good for her.. 😂

Me too. All my friends say Maxon was stupid and América was a i can't say

I know, right?! I wanted to slam my head against a glass wall

Yeah, an epilogue would be great, but I fear that it would be something epic like, "looking deeply into Maxon's eyes, I wanted to tell him that I am going to have his child, but then I thought, 'Later, I'll tell him later. Afterall, we have nine months.'" (and I really want another book deal.)

Kay Banks omgosh yes, that is actually what she would have been like, i can actually see that happening, hey maybe Kiera Cass can make another pointless novel about that

I just can't believe that this series is so popular since America is SO annoying! Argh.

I know she is so annoying!

I didn'n notice until she pointed it out. Haha, I can't stop laughing.

I cried for like an hour for Amberly

+stefani nava I was not disappointed, it was just so sad that these two characters had to die...

CELESTE DIED I HAD NO IDEA

+Furballswift ツ THAT HAD ME RIGHT IN THE FEELS

Thesebookfeels yes it was hard.... :((

They did die

Aqeel Mohammad ik... I said *I wish*

Karla Hernandez k

Celeste died?????FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cloud MSP lol you probably haven't read the last book because in the last one she becomes really nice and one of America's best friends

Well, America and Marlee did promise to each other that they'd be maid of honors at their weddings.

EXACTLY I WAS CRYING WHEN SHE DIED

EXACTLY. Ready to chuck the book across the room during that. >_

We need more selections book!! I cant wait 6 months for the other book the heir

That is me. like i want to stop, but I need to know what is happening

I think it's the fact that from the begginning of the series with The Selection we were introduced in a fun sort of world with royalty and colors and beautiful dresses and the notion that we are reading something like a Next Top Model/The Bachellor kind of book (if that makes sense?) and all of that awakened our most girly side? I mean common the dresses were gorgeous in my mind! I was so jealous... :p I would love to be part of the selection and be a princess just for the clothes:D

Omg same it is just TOO GOOD TO PUT DOWNNN! Love it. This series has to go on FOREVER. I’m on The Elite and almost finished

Odette Frias Eadlyn is from the Heir

OH GREAT! looks like i have even more to look forward to as I read the next book -.-

Dani Simone MY NAMES SIMONE

AHHAHAHAJDLOELDNSMSL Y E S

Ah man I already bought this book

Right? I felt like we didn't have time to Mourn properly

I think the author was trying to tell us that America had been gone for a while and she had little communication with her family due to their distance and that obviously led to the "sudden" death of her father. Although, America does mention that he had been having heart problems.

Why didn’t she straight up say that Celeste was dead, I mean we can infer, but I would have like a straight out the king, queen, and Celeste all died in the rebel attack.

Ugh I know, the series was good up until the ending of the one, it absolutely sucked like nobody wants to read their favorite characters dying. Why the unnecessary killing spree...... and then we’ve been waiting the whole time to read about after they get together, but she just decides to skip that and fast forward 20 years, seriously Kiera Cass, what kind of author do you think you are?!?!?!????

Hannah Arie I have to admit that i didn‘t like the third book as a whole and the second one was also not thaaat good. I liked the first one tho 🥺 But maybe it‘s just me idk.. I thought the story telling was also kinda weak sometimes and Maxon was so rude at the end ahhh, i never got that out of my head ahahah

AMEN

RIGHT??

PREACH!

Yeah I skipped those parts I was like my god woman

+Marina Li to the first paragraph: AGREE -.-

+Marina Li SAME OMG I WAS LIKE NOOOOOOOOOO

BUT THE ENDING TO THE 4TH BOOK MADE ME CRY SO FREAKING MUCH

Hannah C OMG!!! That ending :'( I want the 5th one now. btw #teamkile

***** sameeeeee

Rennie Chen I mean, it only took him only almost dying to realized he loved her....(sorry I took so long to reply, I haven't really been keeping up with my google plus feed, lol)

Annika Lehr-Bryant just commenting bcos youre a tøp fan and a selection fan at the same time just as i am :)

I didn't want her to do that but I couldnt help but think Maxon acted like an ahole there. He didn't have to be so rude she was embarrassed enough

SAME😔

YES OH MY GOD !!! I literally finished the book at 3:00 am and it just end !!! I literally just wanted scream! And I just stay up all night and now I am reading the heir ( I know I am a bit late ) and I am just not in the mood !!!! Like Kiera Class just never ever completely finish a damn book !!!

SAMEEE!!

The Heir is out now!!!

Hahaha, well, my biggest frustration was that she didn't even show a little sneak peek of their honeymoon (even if it were just a little!) and later days as an official married couple, C'MON, are you kidding?. I felt empty, I was sooo in the mood to read more of that. I'm frustrated, I want more! I feel that if I read the heir it'll lose a lot of its magic for me. I feel as if the ending chapters were too abrupt and rushed, I could barely even hold my breath!

Is it bad that I didn't guess that until I saw Christine's book talk on the Elite? I honestly had forgotten about that little plot line.

hahahahahahah no its fine

I never caught on, I thought it was a great plot twist. But I guess that I'm not so quick with details haha

***** The worst is that I'm usually a pretty detail-focused reader and I didn't think of it until Christine said it.... D:

+MissBelle127 same lol

Maxon's reaction was so fast I had my mouth open that whole chapter. I was like: "America, wait what? Leaning against Aspen...WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT???? Maxon. No. What? WOAH. Well, America kinda asked for that....But why Maxon? D: #Confuzzled" Yeah, The Elite is my least fav too. The Selection has to be my favorite, though, as I didn't feel the need to chuck the book. XD

Character changes )x

I liked aspen's side but I didn't want to cuz I felt he wasn't telling the truth about that thing with Brenna and then with Lucy at the end I was like "when did they start liking each other?" I was so mad cuz he was acting like he loved America so much but then why did he start to like Lucy?UGH I was so confused

I know right!!

Exactly. I could barely make it through The Heir, I wanted to beat the crap out of Eadlyn

Yes yes yes! Also why did they name their children such stupid ugly names???

Josi Kuchařová Who knows

Is it just me or did any one else find it unnecessary for kile to leave! I was heart broken. One of my favorites was Hale and I thought he had a very good chance... Then he was gay? But that doesent meen that I love hale and kile and HATE eadlyn

Cyanneé My feelings exactly

I know right

+Tova 'The MockingJay' yes... i also did a book talk on it, and it was just so emotional...

The thing is, nobody will ever be fully satisfied with the books, and that's totally fine with me. I don't think you can just simply say you liked the book, while you are also bashing it more that saying you the good things. I understand some frustrations. And I'll admit, after I finished I reread and reread because I felt lost. Soon, it all made sense. After that, I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Sure, Celeste and Queen Amberlys deaths may not have been needed. But at the same time, I think it helped them realize some things. Maxons ,dear mother, went out protecting the man she loved. And Celeste died a changed woman. That, I'm satisfied with. Thats all for me. I'm out. Peace✌🏻️

I agree with you 100%

I agree with you 100%

This is exactly how I felt afterwards and just like you I read the series over and over until finally I accepted how things were!

I know this is a comment from a long time ago, but can I just say that I agree with you 100%. BEST BOOK SEIRES EVER!!!!

I literally had to put my book down for a couple minutes, and just sit there and prepare that was bound to follow

yes the whole time i'm like ,why?! it was like 5 minutes if she would've idk went to the bathroom or something n not went to go talk to aspen everything would've been ok

Marian Rios this is so true that’s what I thought too because the king didn’t like America and America and everyone wanted to remove the castes but how will the king all of a sudden agree so she made him dies the end was kind of disappointing

So true. I felt like I got whip lash from the ending. It was like the first 85% was on slow mode and then someone pressed fast forward for the last 15%!!! The most frustrating was the attack!!!! This had such a huge potential to be epic!!! SPOILER! Why not have Maxon tell everyone he's chosen Kris then have America start walk away in her shame, leave the room in her ever present tears, and then have her see a guard she never saw before carrying a gun into the room and then hear the gunfire? FAR FAR more dramatic! Why not EXPLAIN how southern rebels got into the castle? Why not HINT at this throughout the book like a good author is supposed to do? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF PAIGE!!!!???? AHH!!!! Oh and America should be deaf from shooting A GUN IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE! I'm all for fantasy but this is just ridiculous. Some people are upset about how Maxon acted toward America after her found out about Aspen but I can speak personally that yes, that is a valid response, to want to hurt the person as bad as they hurt you. I know it's jarring but I thought it was a very human response. I agree the no funerals was very jarring. The book needed to be a lot longer. Christine is right, the world totally needed to be fleshed out more. What exactly was the point of the castes, I still don't understand that? If you want to be a dictator, you want everyone poor, except your posse, right? It would have been nice to see the world fleshed out because it seems like America had a hard life but no where near Katniss' hell. I think a description of how the town lived would have been better because the world did not seem so awful at all. Okay that was longer than I meant it to me, just had to air out my frustrations :)

lol same

I thought I was the only one

OMG YES!! The entire time I was reading I couldn't stop myself from comparing the two books. Juliette was always so indecisive and changed her mind constantly. It was infuriating and the same thing happened to America. Especially how Warner had a tormented childhood since his father used to physically and mentally abuse him, Maxon went through the same thing. They both had marks on their bodies as a result from that. And especially how America and Juliette both had first loves (Aspen and Adam) but found out that it wasn't true love. Since they met another men, and at first absolutely hated him but soon after grew to love him. IT WAS SO SIMILAR! I thought I was the only one who realized!!

That is so creepy now that you point it out. If I had to choose which series I liked better, I don't think I could decide...

Omg! Yes and when she kept telling him she needed time and then finally saying I love you it was so alike but i liked shatter me more because warner is much more confident and his characteristics are much better and julitte gets better in the last book so yeah

Layan Mahmoud lol ikr. America was sort of very indecisive even to like, the very last minute but juliette made up her mind before Unravel Me was barely over.

Layan Mahmoud I definitely liked Shatter Me more because although Juliette was very indecisive and at times her thought process was annoying, her character still made sense. Like, if someone was basically isolated from society their entire life, it would make sense for them to question their own thoughts because they're so used to nobody else doing it for them. America, on the other hand, was just plain effing annoying. She just kept being so incredibly stupid throughout the entire series!!! Like, OH MY GOD!!!! I was sooooo pissed when she wouldn't say I love you to Maxon, and when they were basically engaged, she had to have that moment with Aspen that ruined the whole thing all over again. Just, honestly, I wanted to pull her out of the book, punch her in the face then put her back in after telling her exactly what to do. Just, FJkhbslkhgwabzifwjfdsa. Those were my feelings throughout the entire series. Also, in Shatter Me, Juliette progresses as a character a lot, while America basically just sated her same annoying self.

Just in the first half of the book? You're too nice. I had that want of just go inside the book and slap her during the whole thing!

Okay, but am I the only one who didn't think his reaction was out of proportion? He just found out that her ex-boyfriend, the man who he always feared she still loved, was there the whole time and she didn't tell him. That the ex-boyfriend who kept her love letters in his room, guarded her freaking room every night. That she had LIED to him this entire time. Everytime she refused to tell him how she felt, or everytime she rejected him, she had Aspen in her freaking doorstep. Aspen was the one she trusted to lead them out of the castle. And when Aspen saw them together in her room, she freaked out and ran to him to explain nothing had happened with Maxon. Like, looking back, he must have felt so stupid for not realizing. I'm more amazed he was even able to trust her after that. How could he believe a single word that comes out of her mouth?

and after that there may be another book but the title and release date is unknown!

The book comes out in May and the cover is so pretty

yeeeesss ohmygod i am so excited!!!

obfuscate insanity COMING OUT IN 2 DAYSSSSS!!!!!

Levana Chen bought mine last week the cover is beautiful!

I also loved America even though she's stubborn and indecisive. Heck I even named my pet after her. As you can see I love America

daniela matos I feel EXACTLY the same.

me too!

I was like dude u made out with Kriss and Celeste saying that she should deal with it but she stands next to a guy too close and he goes all PMS on her. Come on Maxon.

Briana McColly He was not mad because he saw America just close with a guy. He was mad because he suddenly realized that he was the ex boyfriend America was talking about. He remembered the way she looked at him and the letter back at Aspen's room. What made him decide to marry Kriss was that he can't stand being with America because she was not honest with him and that really breaks his heart.

it all makes sense now.

Danica Mae But what? Maxon didn't think that America felt the same way he did when he saw her with Aspen as she did when he was Kriss or Celeste. At least she gave him time to explain a bit on both cases. But he didn't let America say anything on the Aspen situation.

this comment is me

lol me too

Novaa LMAOOO

It made no sense, I didn't even think about it the first time around. But how would they be so familiar with each other and acting in love literally the day after aspen walks in on maxon and America and acts all heartbroken. I just feel like their relationship was unnecessary, undeveloped and came out of nothing

I thought the pairing was just strange. I saw Aspen as a player/jock type. I thought he'd end up with Celeste or someone else like that. Lucy seemed way too shy and proper for that. I was hoping that she'd end up with the guy she loved.

ikr

Jenny Yegyan *next

No I loved America too. At times I was irritated and frustrated with her but I still love her.

Same

No, I loved America to death. I cried with her, she felt like my sibling or someone close to me. She embedded a little America bug in my heart. I think it's because I find her to be like myself.... damn, Christine thinks I'm selfish D:

SAME HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT IM THE ONLY ONE

SAME

Cat wafflez I got the feels when he said be happy too. I read it when my mom was in the same room and I teared up. After that, she kept looking over at me with a concerned look on her face.

So true. I think the epilogue should have been more in the future; for example after they had children or something like that.

Prerana Pachhai while book endings normally don't satisfy me, this one did. all i could ever ask for is a novella that her her life later. not an epilogue, not a novel. something in between. maybe a couple chapters. do the singers move in at the palace, or in the house? how many kids do america and maxon have? what it the status of the castes? what happened to the rebels? lucy and aspen? Amberly's family? do marlee and the officer have kids? if so, do marlee's kids and America's kids play together? just a brief touch on all those types of things.

Samantha Byrnes True. Hopefully Kiera Cass will put up another novella.
