bookishfoxes 's review for:

The Elite by Kiera Cass
4.0

I really enjoyed this. Just like the first book it was an easy and fast read. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is the love triangle.

From the beginning I've hated America with Aspen, but in the first book I could stand scenes between them. But in this one... it just got frustrating. The love triangle drags on a little too long for my taste. Every scene with her and Aspen I couldn't wait until it was over.

I see people call America annoying and while I definitely hated some choices she made, I do like her. But the fact that seeing what happened to Marlee didn't stop her from sneaking around with Aspen made me angry.

While I don't love Maxon as much as in book 1, I still want America to end up with him.

Besides the love triangle I really like this series (so far). It's kinda a feel good series? I don't know how to explain it. It's nowhere near perfect yet still so fun to read. It's easy to read, and it goes by so fast. I read half of this book only in a few hours, and I could have finished it in one day if I didn't spend the first half doing something else.
