The key talent involved in the project includes the director, Haifaa Al-Mansour, a Saudi-Arabian director (also the first from the region) who is most known for Wadjda but also had a hand in two Netflix projects including Nappily Ever After and directing on The Society ( sadly canceled). Unfortunately, all I could find available in the United States is a performance Christina Aguilera did in 2000.Who’s involved with The Selection on Netflix?
#Epilogue of the one by kiera cass series#
In other news, I’ve been so whipped by this book that earlier while I was listening to music an old song came on shuffle and I was completely taken back by how much it reminded me of The Selection as a series whole. Perhaps we’ll find out in the fourth book, but I don’t think it’ll be the same. I want to know what happened immediately after the epilogue and I want to know about all the loose ends. I know there are novellas that have been published and a fourth book that is about the heir, but I want more of America and Maxon. I liked her) There was a lot going on and I wish more of that had been focussed on in the second book instead of just introduced. I liked that they brought in some interesting characters. We got to learn so much more about the world and how everything operated. I was really happy with how the plot progressed throughout this installment. The deaths hurt as much as the deaths did in The Hunger Games, and I think that’s saying something. Speaking of character deaths, I didn’t realize how invested I had really become with the story and the characters until I found myself sobbing over them. There were major character deaths, a decision finally made and so many things learned that just, like, didn’t get brought up again. So much happened that I could have took a whole other book out of it all. I would have liked to have had time to process all of the events that happened in the last few pages. Really, my only complaint with this book was that it just ended too quickly. I needed it so badly and enjoyed it so immensely that when I realized I have about 30 pages left and a ton of stuff needed to happen I began to panic. So badly that I stayed up until 3 am reading it and then woke up at 730 am and picked it back up immediately. I needed to know what was going to happen. When I said I devoured The Elite, it was nothing compared to how quickly I pushed through The One. This was mostly made up for, though, by the fact that America finally admitted to the reader that she wanted to be with Maxon, and that meant she was ( finally ) going to start getting involved in the selection process. The love triangle was on it’s last leg, and I was continually annoyed that America and Maxon wouldn’t just communicate with each other. Some of the issues I’ve had with the other books were still present. With sequels it’s normal for the plot to plateau a bit, and I am so glad that this one picked the pace up tenfold. As impressed as I was with the first two books, this one far outshone them both. This one was an emotional roller coaster. Do not read this review if you have not read The Selection and The Elite prior.
This is the third book of ‘The Selection’ series.
But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose-and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants. When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown-or to Prince Maxon’s heart. The time has come for one winner to be crowned. You can take a look at the reading challenge here. *This is book #28/28 for my 2014 book challenge. “The One”, book three in Kiera Cass’ ‘The Selection’ series, was an emotional roller coaster in all the right (and heartbreaking) ways.
