#DESCRIPTION OF THE SETTING IN THE ONE BY KIERA CASS SERIES#

The first book is lively, well-paced and easily draws readers into the story, and along to the second book. There is also some background given to explain how the world has changed to become the one in which the characters find themselves.

#DESCRIPTION OF THE SETTING IN THE ONE BY KIERA CASS SERIES#

It is, for instance, one of the few YA dystopian series I've come across that while set in a futuristic version of North America, still has some interaction with, and explanation of what's happening in the rest of the world. That is not to say it doesn't contain a few unique, or thought provoking dystopian elements. On a scale from one to ten for YA dystopian novels, if Orson Scot Card's Ender's Game is on one end, with no romance at all, and Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, containing, but not completely driven by a love triangle, is in the middle, then Cass' series sits easily at the far end, as a YA romance in a dystopian setting. Review: T he Selection series is most definitely a dystopian romance - with a capital R. For thirty-five girls, it is the chance of a lifetime, except for those whose hearts are elsewhere. Competing for the honor raises the contestants to the third highest caste, provides a financial stipend to the girls' families, and increases even the losers' chances of marrying above their original status, thereby elevating their entire family. Marriage to the prince means a raise in status to the highest caste.

Girls from any caste can enter their names into a lottery to be drawn at random, one from each province, to compete for the affection of an eligible prince. Royal sons marry commoners to unite the monarchy to the people. Royal daughters marry foreign dignitaries to form or strengthen alliances. Website: Summary: In the future, after war, occupation, and counter-revolution, North America has been rebuilt into a single country, with a population divided into a strict caste system under a monarch. Valentine's Day this week + a dystopian literature study in the works + all five books of The Selection series being available from our online library (I adore the online library) = one book review, as promised.Д«ooks in the Series: The Selection, The Elite, The One, The Heir, and The Crown (plus a handful of novellas, not reviewed here).
