I am really growing to love novellas from different characters' perspectives. All the great YA out there has such interesting worlds and this way you get to experience the world through another set of eyes. In this novella, we get Maxon's perspective.This novella shows Maxon right before the Selection takes place and during the first few days of the girls moving in. I enjoyed the first chapters more than the later ones because it was completely new and not just a different angle of a scene I was familiar with.I thought it was nice to get to see how Maxon feels about his parents and their relationship. We also got to see more of the politics of the world. I want to know more about this world, so I really devoured every little detail.I read this before The Elite and I feel like it was refreshed the world and the story. I'm excited to read The Elite. I give this novella a 3/5 because I liked the first few chapters a lot more than the last, which just seemed like copies of scenes I already saw.
