My Thoughts:
The One was one of my most anticpated reads of this year, I
don’t know what I was expecting and it was a great conclusion and I really
enjoyed it but, for some reason I couldn’t give it that fifth star. I wanted
something else a little bit more their wasn’t any real surprises or anything
that I wanted to make me so excited about this ending. It was just what I
wanted and not at the same time.
I don’t want to give any spoilers away but, I will say that
America and Maxon did frustrate me a bit in this one. As much as I have loved
the series I grew tired of the back and forth between the two of them and after
the first two books I was ready for it to be resolved and something more to
happen and it was dragged out just a bit too long.
I was a little surprised at where the plot of this last book
went, it expanded a little but, not enough I wanted more, I wished we could
have found out more about what was going on in the last book throughout the
series more and it wasn’t so focused on just the girls. I was glad that we got
to expand a bit and remind us that the entire series isn’t just about the girls
of the selection that their was more at stake.
Overall, The One was exactly what I was hoping it would be
and not enough at the same time. I will say that I was so sad to see it end and
I wanted more, I can’t wait to see what Kiera Cass writes next I am a big fan!
Great review! I really need to step up my game and finish the Elite. The covers for this series are absolutely gorgeous. And I totally understand what you mean about the back and forth between American and Maxon getting tiresome, I completely empathize with you on that one. Glad you enjoyed it, makes me hopeful for when its finally time for me to read this one (:

I liked your review of it! I really can't wait to read this one, as I've already finished The Selection and The Elite. I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about the third book (but thankfully haven't run into any spoilers yet!) I am glad you enjoyed the book. I agree with you that I'm a big fan of Kiera Cass after reading this trilogy! (The first two books of it at least)
