The Prince (The Selection #0.5)
3 Knowledge isn’t love ★'s
“There was something about her.. Even the way she didn't like me drew me in, and I couldn't help but smile.”
This novella is fast passed and really easy to read. But for me, it was just alright. I didn't love it but I can't say I hated it either. It's written in Prince Maxon's POV which was initially what drew me to want to read it in the first place. It takes place a couple of weeks before The Selection which just so happens to be on his 19th birthday. I really enjoyed the first few chapters. The ones that took place before. It was nice seeing all the work that went into the preparations for the 'lottery' that really wasn't a lottery at all! And seeing it all through Maxson's eyes. It was wonderful to be inside his head, to see his fears and doubts throughout the whole prosses and what his expectations were going into it and whether or not if he'd find love in the end. I have loved Maxon from day one and this just helped solidify it even more. He's charming, sweet, passionate, a bit sheltered and he generally cares about The Selection and each one of the girls. I also enjoyed having his thoughts on the girls as well. Especially the one he has about America :) Maxon is so damn easy to love! The last couple of chapters were retellings of Maxon and America's first couple encounters in The Selection just through Maxon instead. And they were pretty boring because of it. Therefore that's why I'm giving it just 3 ★'s. Even though I didn't love it I do recommend this to The Seclection fans because it does give some good insights.
“If she were (looking into my eyes), she’d have seen how absolutely floored I was the first time I finally, truly saw her. The clouds moved at just the right moment, fully lighting her face by the moon. She was dazzlingly beautiful. Underneath thick lashes were eyes blue as ice, something cool to balance out the flames in her hair. I felt a strange flutter in my chest, like the glow of a fireplace or the warmth of the afternoon. It stayed there for a moment, playing with my pulse.”

I really like getting to know prince before everything starts. And I like that he is so nervous about the whole thing! Its adorable!
I'm not sure what this is about but for some reason I want to read it... well I have some idea what it's about but still... not much...It says that it's related to The Selection so I guess I'm probably going to read it. Curses now I'm excited!
10-2-12; 10:45pm : WHAT IS THIS? WHY AM I JUST NOW HEARING ABOUT THIS? GIMME!I hope they actually PRINT this! All these e-novellas are really getting me down. :c 12-30-12; 12:13pm : NOOOO. ebook only?! :c 3-2-13; 9:14am Unfortunately, i will not get to read this book. Which is such a bummer. I'm really upset about it and the multiple e-book short stories being released. :c No e-reader = no bueno.
Oookay, unf.I was worried about the other girl. But at the end everything was good! I just love how Maxon thinks, how all his life he had been taught to be someone, of how to be the prince and how he in his own way he rebels against it. And I loooove his POV the first time he met America in the gardens, he really did fell for her at the begining. Review before reading:Gimme, gimme! Gimme NOW.Ooh, Maxon. I'm not the kind of girl that chooses teams, but baby I'm Team Maxon all the way! And not
So...My reaction when I realized not only was there going to be a Novella to the Selection series, but one from Prince Maxon's POV-my reaction might have looked a little something like this...yes.yes.Yes!My Reaction when I saw that I would have to wait until march...Yeah, I know the feeling.

❝I smiled to myself thinking of America, measuring her against the other girls. She was pretty, if a bit rough around the edges. It was an uncommon type of beauty, and I could tell she wasnt aware of it. There was a certain . . . royal air she didnt seem to possess, though there was, perhaps, something regal in her pride. And, of course, she didnt desire me at all. Still, I couldnt shake the urge to pursue her. And that was how the Selection did its first act in my favor: if I had her here, atI really like getting to know prince before everything starts. And I like that he is so nervous about the whole thing! Its adorable!
