Waiting on Wednesday: The Queen & The Favorite by Kiera Cass

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

The Queen & The Favorite
(The Selection #0.4 & #2.6)
Publication Date: March 3, 2015
Paperback, 240 pages, Harper Teen
Genres: Dystopian, Young Adult

Two novellas set in the captivating world of Kiera Cass's #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series, now available in print for the first time! In The Queen and The Favorite, discover untold stories from the lives of two of the Selection series' most beloved characters.

Before America Singer's story began, another girl came to the palace to compete for the hand of a different prince. In The Queen, follow Prince Maxon's mother, Amberly, through the Selection that made her a beloved queen.

Marlee Tames came to the palace to win Prince Maxon's heart—but her own heart had other ideas. The Favorite goes behind the scenes of Marlee and Carter's life together, from the fateful night their secret was discovered to the events at the end of The One.

My Thoughts

I think this series is a guilty pleasure. Kind of. I don’t really like a lot about it—the characters aren’t that fantastic, the world-building isn’t very good, etc.—but I still want to read them.

What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?

  1. Nice pick. I'm interested in reading The Selection series, I think the kingdom aspect intrigues me (of course). :) My TTT is here, http://yaindulgences.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/waiting-on-wednesday-10/. I don't know how to link it, so...sorry for the long link. :(
