This is the last in the Selection three-book series. This book follows the prince making his final decision on who he wants to marry and then the wedding. I enjoyed this book series. I am not a big reader, but I finished all three books in about a week. These books are easy to get through and an overall quick read. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a mindless romance story to read. There are a few moments that mention issues in the dystopian society but other than that is a good romance book. This serious is one I would definitely recommend.
The book is the second book in the Selection series. If you haven’t read the first book I would recommend reading that before starting this book. I have read this whole series and I enjoyed all books equally. It’s a continuation of the first book which ends on a cliff hanger. There was more tension because more and more girls are being eliminated. This book was so hard to put down and I finished it in about a day. The second book follows America Singer as she continues to live in the castle. Many girls have been eliminated and the competition is getting cutthroat.
I am not a huge book reader, but I LOVED this book and it made me read the whole series. It’s a quick read because it’s hard to put down once you start. My favorite part was the romance aspect of it but there is so much more to the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an easy and non-serious read. The book takes place in a dystopian future with the premise of a prince finding a woman to marry. It’s similar to the Hunger Games in the way that people from different social standings are selected to fight for the prince's affection.
This book is the sequel to Fourth Wing and the second book in the Empyrian series. The third book is being released in 2025, which I’m excited for! This book goes through the journey of Violet Sorrengail, and her plans to save her people, as well as her relationship with Xaden Riosrson.
“All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real-world hollow.
“Fools!" said the man, stamping his foot with rage. "That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.”
“Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day in our own world, at home, men start going wild inside, like the animals here, and still look like men, so that you'd never know which were which.”
The fourth book in the Narnia series, Prince Caspian is one of the most memorable ones, with all the classics of a fairytale. An evil uncle, plotting for the throne, and a young prince seeking help in what’s left of the mythical part of his kingdom.
“But one of the worst results of being a slave and being forced to do things is that when there is no one to force you any more you find you have almost lost the power of forcing yourself.”
“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”
