The One by Kiera Cass | Rating: ★★★★★"You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good."
Okay, guys. I have a lot of feelings on this one — a lot, a lot, a lot. Way more than I’d ever planned when it came down to this trilogy; while The One had moments that seemed rushed and had its fair share of weaknesses, it is by far the best in the trilogy. And the perfect end to America’s story.
I’m going to warn you now that my review will not be spoiler free. I’ve given it a bit of time since its release date to review it and if you have not yet had the pleasure of reading it, I suggest you turn around now. I will leave you with some words that will give you the general idea of what this novel contains: tears — happy and sad, swoons, laughs and more tears.
Did I mention tears? ‘Cos there’s a lot of tears. Just thought I’d clarify.
Kiera Cass has managed to make me a full time fan and believer through the course of her trilogy. There were times in the first book that, while I didn’t hate it, I thought I may not continue the trilogy. And then I picked up my copy of The Elite and everything changed for me when it came to my feelings towards this story.
In the course of these three novels, she has managed to build her world and make the story more and more intriguing. It’s soapy and sweet and funny and romantic. The series, as a whole, just kept getting better and better as it went on. The One manages to complete the series with several twists, turns, confessions, redemption and resolutions.
