Kiera Cass deserves a huge round of applause for her work on The Betrothed!!! I absolutely enjoyed her new book, from the variety of amazing characters to the setting and the wonderful new history and cultures in the book. I am so looking forward to the concluding book in this duology to see what else Hollis and company do next. I wholeheartedly believe that this book does not deserve the poor rating it has currently. This book is completely different from Kiera Cass's The Selection (One of my first loves when it comes to books) and The Siren, which I both adore, and I am so happy that she is trying something new and unexpected as an author. I am holding my breath in anticipation as to what will happen in the next book and hope other people enjoy this duology as I am so far. So again a standing ovation is seriously needed for this amazing author and the outstanding job she did on her new and amazing creation.
