America is a relatable and engaging protagonist, one who is easy to root for as she navigates the challenges of the Selection. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of The Selection, however, is its characters. Over the course of the book, readers will witness the drama, romance, and intrigue that ensues as the girls navigate the challenges of the competition. The competition is open to any eligible woman in the kingdom, regardless of caste, and those who are chosen to participate are whisked away to the palace to live in luxury and compete for the prince's affection. The Selection itself is a fascinating concept, one that Cass executes flawlessly. This system creates a clear hierarchy in which the wealthy and powerful occupy the upper castes while those in the lower castes struggle to make ends meet. Readers will be fascinated by the social and political structures of Illea, which are based on a caste system that assigns each citizen a number based on their family's occupation and wealth.
Cass has created a vivid and intricate world that feels both familiar and entirely unique. One of the key strengths of The Selection is its world-building. Despite her reluctance to participate, America soon finds herself drawn into the competition, even as she continues to harbour feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Aspen. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where the United States has been reimagined as the Kingdom of Illea, The Selection tells the story of America Singer, a young woman who is thrust into a competition to win the heart of Prince Maxon and become the next queen of Illea. With its compelling storyline, relatable characters, and well-crafted world-building, The Selection is a book that has earned its place as a must-read for lovers of romance, dystopian fiction, and YA novels. The Selection is a captivating novel by Keira Cass that has captured the hearts of readers around the world.
