The Prince takes us back a few days before the selection where Maxon prepares himself or tries to anyway. Woop! Woop! It was a pretty good read and I'm glad to have been able to get a glimpse of Maxon's mind. Illustration of Maxon & What I picture he'd look like.Īlrighty! After months of waiting for this one to come out, I finally read it. It stayed there for a moment, playing with my pulse.” I felt a strange flutter in my chest, like the glow of a fireplace or the warmth of the afternoon. Underneath thick lashes were eyes blue as ice, something cool to balance out the flames in her hair. The clouds moved at just the right moment, fully lighting her face by the moon.

“If she were (looking into my eyes), she’d have seen how absolutely floored I was the first time I finally, truly saw her. Even though I didn't love it I do recommend this to The Seclection fans because it does give some good insights.

Therefore that's why I'm giving it just 3 ★'s. And they were pretty boring because of it. 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. I also enjoyed having his thoughts on the girls as well. He's charming, sweet, passionate, a bit sheltered and he generally cares about The Selection and each one of the girls. I have loved Maxon from day one and this just helped solidify it even more. 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. 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 takes place a couple of weeks before The Selection which just so happens to be on his 19th birthday. It's written in Prince Maxon's POV which was initially what drew me to want to read it in the first place. I didn't love it but I can't say I hated it either. This novella is fast passed and really easy to read. Even the way she didn't like me drew me in, and I couldn't help but smile.” When someone else remembers some great story about me/us that I’ve forgotten. Not walking up but looking at a beautiful staircase. Spending an hour typing at a coffee shop. That my wedding dress was tea length, not floor.
