“The Elite” id the second book in “The Selection” series written by Kiera Cass. I read the first one in the series years ago and I really liked it, however I did not continued with the series. This year in my aim on finishing series I wanted to continue and hopefully finish the original series before the year ends. Additionally to this trilogy this year, a new book was published titled “The Heir”

America made it through the fist phase of the selection. She is now part of the elite and the competition has became harder, each one of the candidates is suitable for several reasons, nonetheless America knows she is there just because prince Maxon wants her there. However, with Aspen there her feelings are not clear and the time Maxon was giving her is coming to an end. America has to learn what that it means to be royal and if she would be able to live as one, because if Maxon chooses her there is not turn back.

“The Elite” was a really good book. It was entertaining and fast paced. I founded a little hard to get into the story, since there was a long time since I have read the previous one. Once I got into the book I really enjoyed it. The plot was interesting and it had several turns that made the book intriguing at some points. The characters however are not the best part of the book. America is too indecisive and fool of herself. Aspen do not know hoe to take a step backwards and left America alone living her life. And Maxon is a confusing character sometimes, which is not a particularly bad thing but is not a good thing either.
Nevertheless I must say I highly enjoy these books they are like a reality show mixed with fairytales, and that just made them really interesting

To sum up, I really think that anyone who enjoyed fairytales as a kid and miss them would like these series.
