Okay, I realized after I had read The Elite that this little novella existed, so I read them out of order.  I hate when that happens but it is just a fact of life.I found it interesting to see things from Maxon's point of view.  I was intrigued by how he viewed that first meeting with America, and seeing how things looked from a different perspective is always refreshing and interesting.  I really enjoy when authors do that because it sometimes can change how you view that character.  This can be a good thing.I wish this story was a little longer and would have gotten further into the story.  I felt like it ended too abruptly and wish there would have been more to it.I cannot really say much about character development because there were no new characters introduced in this story.  What I can say is that it added more depth to the character of Maxon, and it made me dislike his father even more than I already did thanks to the other two books.This story was overall well written and is a good complement to the Selection and The Elite.  Even if you have already read both of the others, this will add insight and make the story that much more interesting.
