Book Review:
I found the book amazing, a great piece of entertainment to read. I like the storyline set 18 plus years in the future. Though it broke my heart to see an older version of Maxon Schreave and America Singer…
The way the author carried the story forth was amazing and I myself being an author realize putting the idea into concept and forming a reality of it takes quite some time. And to portray a 'male version' of The Selection was awesome. I mean a group of females put into a common room I can understand. But how the author managed to out a bunch of guys under the same roof, competing with each other for Eadlyn’s hand (which by the way, she doesn’t want to give) is just an ordeal. I mean ladies in a room they’ve got so much stuff to talk about, to do but guys…it was good to see the story proceed with minimal brawling. Being an avid reader, I think I see where the story is headed…

About the Characters:
I loved Eadlyn’s character on how she has to fight between duty and what she believes is right for her ownself. The concept of a female in power and how it’s not easy for her to relinquish control and trust someone, letting them in through that wall… and Eadlyn’s inner battle/ conflict with that perspective, is well written and very understandable. From an author’s POV I commend the author for that.
Maxon as a Father and America as mother have been given great supporting characters. Ahren’s character as a brother is an awe… Aspen and Marlee’s families have been put in nicely.

For the selected: One word descriptions on some characters would be:
Henri (sweet), Hale (ever-present), Kile (Innovative and well Hmm…), Baden (I’m not sure), Jack ( a jerk), Erik (Great Friend) I love Erik’s character for honestly the self-sacrifice he shows supporting Henri, and being ever loyal, all the time not revealing his very presence or boasting about his job, esp. when he could’ve had the possibility of being a selected (had he entered and gotten picked i.e.)
In the end of the book Ahren’s character did what was not expected of him…left me in a bit of a shock… well that’s fiction
Recommendations are so on…I’d love to see how the next book (The Crown) goes.
