I loved The Selection (more than this) mostly because it was mind-candy and pure fun, but I agree Winner's Curse is a better book. I can't wait to hear what you think of The WInner's Crime.

But if you want something a little more serious and stronger in the fantasy department, then check out The Winner's Curse. Thanks for visiting, Allison.

There are a lot of mixed reviews for it…either people love it or are sort of "meh" about it. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for visiting!

Ellara is like Cersei Lannister with magic (scary thought) and a certain character reminded me of Joffrey.<br /><br />I liked the book even with its flaws. I kind of figured out the twist ahead of time but I am looking forward to the next book to see what the author does with the story. I agree that The Winner's Curse is a better book. I have the sequel The Winner's Crime and I am hoping to read it soon.<br /><br />Great review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-78747778205409215342015-01-29T14:30:56.851-05:002015-01-29T14:30:56.851-05:00Based on the description, I thought about adding t...Based on the description, I thought about adding this book to my to-read list. But if it's like other more successful books that have already been done, I think I'll pass. I actually haven't read The Selection yet, despite seeing it everywhere. Would you recommend it?
