About This Audiobook

This captivating audiobook brings two lesser-known tales from The Selection series to life. In 'The Prince', we delve into the thoughts and feelings of Prince Maxon, the charming prince America fell for, but never quite understood. What motivates him, what's behind his charming smile? This story offers a nuanced portrayal of Maxon's character, adding depth to the original series. 'The Guard' tells the story of an elite protector tasked with keeping America safe, and explores the complexities of loyalty, duty, and forbidden love.

Amy Rubinate brings her signature warmth to the narration of 'The Prince', infusing Maxon's story with a sense of vulnerability and humanity. Nick Podehl's deep, resonant voice brings gravity to 'The Guard', mirroring the intensity of the story. The contrast between the two narrators creates a rich listening experience, making this collection of stories shine. The audiobook production is polished, with clear sound effects and an engaging pace that draws listeners in.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I've always been fascinated by the supporting characters in The Selection series, and this audiobook delivers in spades. Amy Rubinate's portrayal of Maxon is particularly compelling, and I loved seeing the prince's softer side. But what truly stands out is the way the audiobook explores the complexities of the characters' emotions and relationships. The pacing is well-balanced, with a good mix of action, romance, and introspection. If I have any criticism, it's that the 'The Guard' story feels a tad rushed, and some of the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent audiobook. The narration is top-notch, and the production values are high. Overall, this is a must-listen for fans of The Selection series, and a great introduction to the world for new listeners. Kiera Cass's writing shines in this collection, and I'm excited to see where the series goes from here.
