Our view
“The Elite” narrows the contest to six girls and runs on romantic turmoil, light in tone and easy to be swept along by. Readers of the first book divide here: some think this volume the stronger and enjoy learning more about the kingdom, while others lose patience with a heroine who seems to them not to grow. It is an instalment in a continuing story and depends entirely on what came before.
