Book Review - The One by Kiera Cass | ★★★

SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT CONTINUE READING THE REVIEW FOR THE ONE IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ THE SELECTION, YOU MAY GET SPOILED!

Only four girls are left in the competition to win Maxon´s heart and the crown of Illéa; Competent Elise, sweet Kriss, gorgeous Celeste and of course, America. 

America still regularly upsets the apple cart of the Illéan monarchy and acts mostly impulsive and careless with no thought what her actions may cause and how that could change her fate with Maxon. As the bad rebels from the South start hurting people caste by caste, America advises openly the whole Illéan populace to fight back. This however, gets King Clarkson angrier about her actions than he was ever before. He wants her gone. 
“America, you are full of nothing but bad ideas. Great intentions but awful ideas.” 
The conflict between the Southern rebels and the royal family (especially King Clarkson) continue to grow more and more. Between America and Maxon everything is good and they seem to want the same thing: Peace.
