"Although we have experienced as a reader, if I may say so, always developed a sense in which people do you get goosebumps and those times definitely can not be trusted, but I was still shocked when my assumption was confirmed.
Who a cheesy love story awaits you here, I have to disappoint you. Of course, the relations between the prince and Mare play a big role, but it is abundantly clear that the emphasis is not like The Selection example.
Many had written, they also feel strongly reminded by the story of the Hunger Games or the Selection row, and I can at least see the latter definitely the reason. What Kiere Cass has absolutely ignored and what the greatest weakness of this series was: The policy that actual circumstances, revolution and much more profound characters.
Now I'm through with the book, will read the second part definitely, but I feel just as helpless and terribly shocked left as with Marie Lu's The Young Elite.
The story begins almost innocent, a country at war, a country with a monarchical order and a girl that a lot can change. And then comes the point where actually only collapses everything and there was nothing you could do about it.
I'm terribly curious how Aveyard all will dissolve, because relationships, friendships and trust is important and want to read about it as well, but here it was left in despair and ruins.
I hope so much that everything will turn out well and not for the political revolution, but also for the destroyed friendships and love affairs. (Yes, I love happy endings) "
