The Elite was a book that was something that you could think was really good or really bad.
I think that this book gave me a good blend of both throughout it. The palace life is a bit exhausting, but the story still pulls itself out of the big wide ocean and royalty to get through the plot.
Moving onto the summary~
Summary: Kiera Cass’s The Elite is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction, fairy tales, and reality TV. This sequel to The Selection will enchant teens who love Divergent and The Bachelor.
In America Singer’s world, a bride is chosen for the prince through an elaborate televised competition. In the second book of the Selection series, America is one of only six girls left in the running. But is it Prince Maxon—and life as the queen—she wants? Or is it Aspen, her first love?
The Elite delivers the adventure, glamour, political intrigue, and romance readers of The Selection expect, and continues the love triangle that captivated them.

Well, I just got that off B&N, so if you want to see other ones, you may want to go to other websites.
The Elite focuses a lot on who America wants to spend the rest of her life with and if she could be strong enough as a princess --and later on, Queen of Illea.
While reading this book, I think that we might have neglected all of the other things in this book other than romance.
Spoilers!!!
Like for instance, Marlee gets caned for falling in love with a palace guard. The dangers in which the maids living in the palace feel. How Maxon gets abused by his father. How rebels can get in and out of the palace so easily.
Spoilers end....
Maxon and Aspen are still the same. There are so many events that happen in the book that it's hard to comprehend how many things happen throughout the course of each chapter.
The thing that has stayed consistent from The Selection to its sequel is Celeste Newsome. The same wench as always. I never have understoodwhy how people could change their personalities according to who they were talking to.
Throughout this book, a lot like America's feelings change, Maxon's heart changes too. It's just a little, but I think that's Kiera Cass trying freshen things up and that's almost a failed attempt.
Don't hate when I say that this book was disappointing compared to its prequel, but nevertheless, it still makes me want to read the next book sure to come. It picked itself up right before I could abandon it.
Overall: 7.3/10
