Read Sept 2012
This book is basically the bachelor but in the future. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it but it was kind of cool to read. I loved the story because it was actually really fun to read. The caste system in which the characters lived was a pretty cool idea. I liked that it’s a competition between all these girls, it’s a fresh idea. I liked how this book focused on the structure of the royal family instead of the main character trying to break free of the government. There was a lot of romance too but it wasn’t bad. I was kind of waiting for a big event to happen but it never did. It was a little disappointing but I made it through.

I liked the majority of the characters. I like Prince Maxon the best and American wasn’t too bad. America wasn’t the best main character but I didn’t hate her so I was able to read the book happily.

There was a cliff hanger ending but luckily the next book is out. This is definitely a lighter novel which was nice to read for fun. I’m not really serious about this book and I might not recommend it unless you wanted more of a romance dystopia book.
