      Plus, Maxon is expected to find a relationship with thirty-four other girls. It’s a competition! America is an idiot for kissing Ass-Pin because doing so during the Selection could get both of them killed or seriously endangered! She and Ass-Pin went from being low class Five and Six to being promoted to a Three and Two due the Selection and draft respectively. All that could be taken away if they’re caught. Neither of them should even risk having a relationship with each or being close while America is still in the Selection and can make up her flipping mind!

    • @alexavilchez5632
      @alexavilchez5632 3 роки тому +48

      I actually got mad at America for doing that. I mean, Maxon wanted to find love but he also had a country with high rates of poverty, low education quality, and they weren’t precisely under the best diplomatic terms with other countries, plus they were under constant rebel attacks, all of that needed to be solved.
      He had to find a girl that was able to pull with all of that and still love and accept him. The country needed a better king than his father and he needed someone that would help him do better for his people. I don’t justify Maxon for playing around though 😅 I mean, the excuse for what he did withCeleste wasn’t the best
      But yeah, he was under a lot of pressure, he had to consider his feelings, the country needs, and what his abusive dad wanted

Clearly, he loves her, but he's giving HER a choice of whether she wanted him and the life that comes along with it. I felt like elite and the one werent necessarily about maxon picking from the other girls (coz after the selection he seemed pretty decided that it was Amrica all the way) but rather America making up her mind between him and Aspen while Maxon figures out which girl he would marry if America decides she doesnt love him.......

    I'm waiting until I read The One before I watch the rest because I don't want to spoil it for myself. But the whole time I was just laughing because it's funny watching others react to books I've already read. My favorite was when Steph said, "Omg Dad no, it's my choice and I want her to stay! Bet you weren't thinking that when your tongue was down Celeste's throat last night." 😂😂

    I read this series a last month, I’m like you too...was late into the game. I’m 24 and eventhough this book may be for younger audiences, I found myself loving this book and getting so attached to the characters. Really gave me an emotional rollercoaster. After I finished these 3 books I had to take like 3-4 days break from reading anything cuz I was having a Post-book blues. It’s a series that really took away my heart and soul. Took a bit of time for me to detach myself from it a little cuz my mind keeps playing out scenes of this book.
