My thoughts about: The Prince (A Selection novella) by Kiera Cass

The prince (The selection #0.5)

Author: Kiera Cass

Pages: ebook 68 pages.

My rating: 3 stars

Summary: ADD TO GOODREADS. 

Before thirty-five girls were chosen to compete in the Selection...

Before Aspen broke America's heart...

There was another girl in Prince Maxon's life...

Don't miss this thrilling 128-page original novella set in the world of the New York Times bestselling novel The Selection. Also features a teaser to The Elite, Kiera Cass's hotly anticipated sequel to The Selection.

My thoughts.

 

I liked Maxon since the first time I saw him in The selection, even though he reminds me of Linden from The Chemical Garden series. Okay, this might not have been the best male POV I have read, though it was pretty good. 

I think the summary is a little wrong, I don't think that the part "there was another girl" describes correctly the relationship between Maxon and Daphne (that other girl), I personally don't think Maxon has feelings for her. So, in fact, I think that this novella is more about Maxon's view about his life, his family and what The selection means for him. 

This novella can even be read if you haven't read The selection, of course, this is the 0.5 novella, so it's supposed to be that way but most people read it after the book 1. 

I wish I read this before the book, maybe that way I could have felt more connected to the characters in the palace. 

So, to finish this I have to say. The prince is a very good read about Maxon, this can help you to like him better, to understand him better. To understand the King and the Queen a little better, too. 

This isn't awesome though, just a light read that you might like :)

Quick-review: Bridge (Logan's novella) by Jeri Smith-Ready

Bridge (Shade #2.5)

Author: Jeri Smith -Ready

Add to Goodreads.

Summary:

Logan is barely seventeen, and barely dead. To find eternal rest, the ghost rock star must make peace with his brother Mickey, before his guilt over Logan’s death drives him to suicide.

Krista sees ghosts everywhere, but never the one she needs most. A chance boardwalk encounter with Logan turns her Senior Week party into a rescue mission. Can her own grief give her the strength to save Mickey’s life?

Loaded with bonus material, the “Bridge” ebook is the perfect introduction to the young-adult Shade trilogy—a tale of ghosts, music, and everlasting love.

I'm sorry! Today I'm just a fan, I can't say something meaningful or great, or... whatever, because I just finished reading Bridge... Logan's novela.

Do you know who is Logan? No?

Well, Logan is my favorite book boyfriend of the whole world. Logan is my favorite character. Logan is my lovely ghost rock star... sighs, I could cry right now, you know?

Bridge is the story tells by the POV of Logan Keeley, I think this happens after Shade but of course! before the ending of Shift. You know, Logan is so damn cute and good that he can't think of find his eternal peace leaving his brother so sad and feeling guilty about what happened. 

So, Logan gets the help of a post-shifter and heck! my baby boy rocks it!

Oh, and let me tell you something better... Bridge is written in verse! yes VERSE!!
Since the first line you can tell ¨This is Logan¨
Bridge is one of the best novellas I have read, so you HAVE to read it. It is more than good, and if you already read the Shade series this is even a better option to see the world  of the pre and post shifters through Logan's eyes.
