    About this ebook

    De las treinta y cinco chicas llegaron a palacio para competir en la Selección. Todas menos seis han sido devueltas a sus hogares. Y solo una conseguirá casarse con el príncipe Maxon y ser coronada princesa de Illea.
    America todavía no está segura de hacia dónde se inclina su corazón. Cuando está con Maxon, se ve envuelta en un romance nuevo y que la deja sin aliento, y ni siquiera puede imaginar estar con nadie más. Pero cuando ve a Aspen en los alrededores de palacio, los recuerdos de la vida que planeaban tener juntos se agolpan en su memoria. El grupo de chicas que llegaron a palacio se ha visto reducido a la Élite de seis, y cada una de ellas va a hacer todo lo posible por ganarse a Maxon. El tiempo se acaba y America tiene que tomar una decisión.
    Sin embargo, cuando ya cree que ha llegado a la conclusión definitiva, un suceso devastador hace que se lo vuelva a plantear todo de nuevo. Y mientras lucha por averiguar dónde está su fututo, los rebeldes violentos que quieren derrocar la monarquía se hacen cada vez más fuertes y sus planes podrían acabar con cualquier aspiración que America pudiera tener de un final feliz…

    • 4/5
      American continues the push and pull between her love from home (who magically ends up a guard at the palace!) and her attraction to Maxon. She finds herself a bit of a rallying point for those who want to see the caste system ended because America sticks up for the right, not tradition. Alongside these attempts to create a more serious storyline is the whole "Bachelor" vibe, which feels like manufactured drama.
    • 2/5
      I think I would like this book better if it wasn't so damn predictable. Since it's #2 in a series, you know the love triangle won't be wrapped up, so I wasn't particularly irritated by that. But, please, for the love of everything, put less cliche obstacles in the main character's way. If I have to read one more scene where America throws a temper tantrum instead of just talking to Maxon about his feelings I will love my everloving mind. Also, of course you have to introduce some kind of shadowy conspiracy and an abusive father because why make anything surprising? Oh, and don't forget to have your main character run to a liaison with a guard literally right after she just saw her friend get caned for doing the exact. same. thing. I mean, I liked the first one enough to try out the third in this series...but please someone tell me it gets better. Please?
    • 4/5
      I think I should have waited until the final book was released before I started reading this trilogy. Now I want to know what is going to happen to Maxon and America but I have to wait until 2014! That's not fair.

      This is a fun trilogy. It's part Bachelor and part Hunger Games without people killing each other. Not sure the time frame but it is some time in the future. They seem to have current technology and also ancient items. So it's a mixture of two worlds. The writing is good, it sucks you into the characters and what is going on with them. It's a good young adult series. If you like young adult series like this it is very enjoyable and I recommend the trilogy.
    • 4/5
      Like this one so much more than book 1...Moving on to book three!
    • 4/5
      While I still love America and Maxon I think America is starting to get on my nerves. Not as a character but as a person. She is so quick to berate others for their mistakes all the while doing whatever the heck she wants. I enjoyed seeing the growth between her and Maxon and seeing the other between her and Aspen.

      I wanted to read this awhile back but this was the first time I saw them at the library. Good book, decent pacing, although the ending was a little iffy.
    • 4/5
      UGHHHHH why do these books have to end? I can't wait to start the next book. I love where the characters are going and developing. The plot twists and all the action keeps me reading far too long. I need sleep! Definitely recommend this book.
    • 4/5
      A big improvement in this installment with a slightly deeper political plot, but still an annoying and needless love triangle exists.
    • 4/5
      Finished this in just a couple of hours on an airplane-- it goes incredibly fast. This one went really fast and was engaging, but on reflection it seems very much a Hunger Games ripoff, just the central contest is a glorified season of The Bachelor instead of a gladiator-esque fight to death. Fun, but not profound.
    • 4/5
      Apr 2018 = 4 stars
      Jun 2014 = 4.5 stars
    • 3/5
      I thought it was kind of slow at the beginning, but liked how it ended.
    • 3/5
      Quite a bit better than the first one. It keeps the fun quasi-dystopian fairytale setting but raises the stakes considerably -- people are injured, there's the actual threat of death. I don't know why it took America this long to realize that she lives in, you know, A DYSTOPIA, but now that she's aware she can't say or do what she wants, she's become an even more fun protagonist.

      Interested to see how it all works out.

      This is much more of a romance than a dystopia (or even a fantasy). It takes place in a future setting, but without any science fictiony stuff whatsoever. Like, they use computers and cell phones and go to movie theatres. Probably a good pick for a teen girl who preferred the romancey aspects of The Hunger Games to the political message... though there is some political allegory in here as well.
    • 3/5
      I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first, because the love triangle was more prominent than I prefer in books. Also, America and Aspen were often just plain stupid. However, I enjoyed the parts dealing with the girls a lot more, and I liked that the plot got a bit deeper with more page time devoted to the rebels.
    • 3/5
      While the series is still interesting, I found America to be rather annoying in this book. Just pick a guy already! The decision isn't as hard as you think. I hope to find out more about the rebels in the next book as their story has to be more interesting that the royals and other members of the Selection. Audio-Hoopla
    • 4/5
      More like 3 1/2 stars, really. The 1st book was better; this was slightly long (the 2nd book in a trilogy is often that way, IMHO) but it was pretty good. ...and I can't wait to find out how it'll end :)
    • 3/5
      This one isn't bad either. I read it one Saturday. However, I am tied of books in which the girl can't figure out who she loves and who she doesn't. Geez.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book just as much as I enjoyed the first book. The Elite is the continuation of the final 6 potential new princess for Prince Maxon. You have Marlee, America, Celeste, Natalie, Kriss, and Elise who have made it this far. America is torn between the Prince and her ex Aspen. She doesn't know if she still love Aspen or Prince Maxon. I have been torn about who she should be with. I am pulling for her to win and be Maxon's Princess. I can feel the connection they have with each other when Maxon and America are together. I also see how much Aspen loves America.There is a Halloween party. And the guards, The Royal Family and the Elite all enjoy themselves. After the party one of the girls goes because of something she did. This rocks America and how she feels about Maxon. The next assignment they have to do is throw a reception for the Germans and Italians that will be visiting. They are split into teams, 3 on one and 2 on the other. America works with Kriss on the party for the Italians. All the girls do a fantastic job.One more assignment is having to create a project that will help the country. Mer does something stupid and learns a lot after wards about Maxon. Now the competition is heating up again since America is not going home after her stunt on the Report. I am going to be reading the next book.
    • 4/5
      Great continuance of the series, which builds directly off from the book before. It's hard for me to describe these books, except to say that they are basically dystopian chick lit, along with a generous mix of just pure fashion. Somehow, it works rather well.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyable quick read. I felt like something was missing as far as Aspen was concerned and I felt that America could be quite stubborn and selfish when it wasn't called for. I'm very interested in seeing how it continues and, hopefully, learn even more about the war namely the endgame for the rebels.
    • 3/5
      I now understand why other people gave this book a bad rating. There's a point in this book that I really think America is sooo stupid. I was so upset with her and her decisions. But oh well...I'll read the last book and give it one more try.
    • 4/5
      I very much enjoyed the additional character development we get in this book. Most characters are revealed to be significantly more complex than they have been in previous books. However, despite me not liking him, it was kinda annoying to see how much Aspen is turning out like Gale in the latter Hunger Games novels - being driven more by a need to revenge himself upon "the man" than by any real care or interest for those around him. Prince Maxon's development was rather impressive and a bit unexpected - he isn't as simple as he would appear.
    • 4/5
      A YA series that doesn't ask too much. It's light, but very readable. The main character, America, is exhausting at times with her wishy-washiness, but I enjoy the political element.
    • 4/5
      Ugh. Got sucked into another trilogy and demolished this one in a day.

      I liked this one better than The Selection. I want to know what happens, and I don't yet own the final book, so I'll be grabbing it on iBooks, and I'll probably read it tomorrow instead of finishing up my to-do list.

      A decent trilogy (so far) especially for kids who may be quite disturbed by the violence in The Hunger Games--same general feel, but much less violence.
    • 2/5
      I wasn't really feeling this one as much as the first one. I really missed the "Selection" part of the story line and really disliked the focus on America and Aspen. I found myself bored with that story line and skipping pages- I want to know about America, Maxon and the other girls.

      I also enjoyed that this one had more of a back story about Illea, but wish we had a little more info about the rebels. Maybe in the next one. Looking forward to the next one, but a little disappointed.
    • 2/5
      I really hope the next book goes somewhere. The more this drags on, the less I like almost every major character. And yet... I still have to know what happens? Oof.
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars.

      It really is just a girly version of any other dystopian YA that you're likely to have already read, heard about, seen the movie, or decided you hated dystopian that wasn't written at the level of Atwood.

      But sometimes it's nice to just get lost in a book that's a quick read. Not everything has to be so educational.
    • 3/5
      America was so frustrating, indecisive, and I hated her in this book which makes it a 3 star, but the rest of the book was pretty great. The first book is much better than this one, but I can't wait to read the next one. I loved the Halloween party idea.
    • 5/5
      Es aún mejor que el primero, para no soltarlo hasta terminar.
    • 3/5
      Yo considero que este libro es mejor que el primero con una mejor trama ,mejores personajes y mejor desarrollo de la historia no lo consideraría todavía de 4 estrellas pero si de 3.5 lo recomendaría si quieres una lectura rápida y ágil
    • 5/5
      Realmente no tengo palabras para describir las emociones de cada escenas, capítulos y conversaciones. Es un libro excelente
    • 3/5
      One quick fact check; America told Marlee that because the violin she had belonged to the royal family and not to America herself, Marlee could hit Celeste over the head with it (or something like that,) but in the first book it was mentioned that the instruments at the palace were much better than the ones that America herself owned, so in the highly unlikely event that she wasn't already attached to it, America wouldn't have wanted to hurt the violin because of its beauty and quality. Something related that I didn't mention in my review of The Selection, is that, given the price of musical instruments, plus new strings and bow rehairs from time to time, and the fact that they do have to be checked for (and sometimes repaired because of) open seams, cracks and shifted soundposts. Not to mention the amount of practice you have to put toward music, and the fact that you really do have to change teachers from time to time, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have such a poor caste be the musicians. I'm guessing that the author didn't bother to look up the price of a decent violin before considering her characters occupation and caste.
      Do I even need to talk about how annoying America was in this book? Her stupidity at the end had me face-palming. I completely understand her fury at Maxon, but did she really think that doing what she did would help in any way? Maxon said at the end that even though he loved her, he didn't trust, but he was kissing Celeste, effectively cheating on both America and Kris. It would make sense if America questioned whether she could trust him. And speaking of cheating, America's affections toward Aspen really bother me. I think that I established in my review of the first book that I don't like Aspen. He's too controlling. I can't even imagine what his response to America staying will be, but I doubt that it'll be gracious. After what happened to Marlee, I would have thought that Aspen and America would've put their relationship on hold--something they should have already done--if for no other reason then to try and protect each other. What's more is that, in order to regain Maxon's trust, one thing that America will have to do is admit that her ex-boyfriend is living in the palace, and I know she won't want to do that.
      I did like the revelation of Maxon's secret. I feel bad for him, and it certainly gave his character more depth.
      I did enjoy this book, but it would have been more enjoyable if the three main characters had stopped being so darn stupid. And I really hope that there will be an actual meeting between the three main characters (or at least America) and the rebels. Even though I like the general idea of selection plot, the fact that we've only had I've very brief glimpse of people who are actually part of one of the rebel groups is leaving quite a bit to be desired with conflict and action.
