Okay... So the blurb of this companion novel tells us that there was another girl in Maxon's life. Yeah, no. Wrong. Kind of. I have no idea why the blurb was written like that!

This story was so sweet. Especially when the Selection started. It was so nice to see everything from Maxon's POV. It can't always be easy being the son of a king and this story deals with that. I liked how realistic Maxon's reaction to the Selection was. I'd definitely read a whole book from his POV!
