But her family needed the money, so she signed up. The castes are basically based off of your ancestor's status back when King Illea came to power.so basically everyone was a 4 or 5 or lower and very few were 2's and 3's and only royals were 1's.America didn't want to sign up for the Selection.she was content.

The whole class system is really whacky, everyone is separated into castes (but the thing everyone lives wherever they want but the castes intermingle and you don't know someone's caste unless they have an obvious job that is represented by their caste).

I recently watched youtuber's videos hauling the series and I said to myself: 'I need to read those through!' So I picked them up from my local library and just flew through them! This series is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine! :D I read the Selection when it first came out in 2012 and I absolutely loved it! At the time, I had a big pile of library books to read, and I eventually just forgot about waiting for the sequel. So, I dived into the world of the Selection. books! During this past week I just needed to get away for a bit. Titles: The Selection, The Elite, The One, The Prince, & The Guard Author: Kiera Cass
