And she is all on board with it until she meets Silas, a young man whose family is seeking asylum in Coroa (from their home in Isolte). As you might imagine, sparks fly between Hollis and Silas. The plot line is predictable: girl is with one boy. New boy enters. Girl falls for new boy who is below her station. New boy and girl run off together. And then new boy and all of the male female members get killed off a la "Red Wedding" style. (Because they have Isolte royalty heritage and it makes their king nervous.) While normally Kiera Cass's writing is loved by me, I felt this book was incredibly weak. All over the place. NO character was likeable. There was next to no romance--This book was hyped up as more steamy Young Adult. Yeah, okay. "The Selection" was more steamy. Honestly, there wasn't much buildup to key scenes. It was like "and we are there apparently." This review makes me sad. No, it won't stop me from reading the next one. But I am disappointed.

I think it it time for a pro and con list.
Pro:
Squeaky clean
They got married (unlike all other ya which says, “no marriage/marriage is bad”. I still don’t get that.)
Retelling of Ruth and Naomi
The plot twist (see con)
Con:
Not much personality
Insta-love (although it was not as bad as normal)
Silas and Hollis hardly knew each other. Seriously, they NEVER talked.
The writing was...erm...interesting
The plot twist (see pro)
Is Hollis supposed to fall for Etan in book two? Is it only me or did you think that too?
One last note, why does Coroa look so much like Corona? (
