Happily Ever After: Companion to the Selection Series by Kiera Cass

Happily Ever After: Companion to the Selection Series by Kiera Cass-387 pages

Happily Ever After is a collection of novellas and short stories set in the Selection series. Many of the stories are events from either The Elite or The One from a different character's perspective (such as The Prince, The Guard, The Favorite, and The Maid). Also, there is a story about the selection where King Clarkson chose Amberly to be Queen of Illea. I really liked reading these stories from multiple perspectives different from America's. For instance, there is a major event from The Elite that is told from Aspen and Marlee's perspective that was eye-opening. It was fun to read these "old" stories from "new" perspectives and the new stories not told in The Selection series.

The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass

The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass-323 pages

I have really enjoyed reading this series thus far. This is a great "ending" of sorts to the Selection part of the story that began with the first book (The Selection). A lot of loose ends are tied up and the ending of the book is very satisfying. A few twists and turns come along the way, which kept me on the edge of my seat. While there are some sad moments, I don't think the ending of the book could be much better. I am looking forward to continuing the series.

The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass

The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass-323 pages

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this series, but I am really enjoying it. I liked this one as much as The Selection. I like the writing and the characters, especially America Singer and Marlee and even Prince Maxon. The Selection has now been whittled down to six at the beginning of this book and America is still sorting through her feelings about Maxon and Aspen and possibly being the princess of Illea.
