I was also delighted to see the girls grow a little closer together, though the fight for the prince has caused a lot of tension among them. And I am so, so happy for the happily paired off couples. While a lot of things have happened over the course of the novel, this was totally happening. Several of the romance scenes really touched my heart and had me silently giggling over the sweetness-and maybe wishing my boyfriend was here with me. Because of this, it’s easier to be forgiving of how little world building and politics we really get to see in the story. It’s kind of hard for it not to play a large role when you have a bunch of girls vying for a prince’s hand.

The highlight for this series has always been the romance. His character came out a little more though it still remains relatively static. Surprisingly, I even found myself liking Aspen more in this book. They have their ups and downs, but they work through them. Essentially a mix of everything I hope to see in a romance. There’s a good mix of friendship, supportiveness, and swoony romance. I always love a book with a close, supportive family. She’s also obstinately loyal and really close to her family. Some of her actions are quite drastic, but she sticks by her morals and seeks to make change for a better society. America is a sweet, gutsy girl, and while she makes a lot of bad decisions I can’t not like her. My favorite characters have always been America and Maxon. Except for a select few main characters, the characters remain static for the most part, and I never really felt like I got to know many of them. The character development is also not very well done. Again, there was a lot of potential for development here, but they serve merely to add another threat to the peace of the kingdom (in addition to growing unrest among the caste groups) and to push for change in the system. And for the most part, the rebel groups remain out of the big picture, only coming up here and there. There was so much potential for world building and crafting political intrigue however, much of the politics that does emerge is done blatantly and does not leave much room for subterfuge. I was disappointed in how the series never fully explored the politics and structure of America’s world. The entire time I was reading, however, I wanted to knock some sense into them. Looking back on the book with all the pieces together, I can see why they keep holding back. This feeds a vicious cycle where both of them are afraid to commit solely to each other, causing a lot of potentially avoidable grief. At the same time, her indecisiveness causes Maxon to remain unsure of himself. It’s difficult for her to dedicate herself completely to Maxon when he’s still seeing other girls. While America resolved in The Elite to choose Maxon, her heart is still on the line in The One. ◆ A copy was provided by Harper Collins for review ◆
