Throughout the series, Eadlyn grows somewhat as a character by becoming more sensitive to needs of the people outside the palace. I actually preferred Eadlyn more in The Heir because her personality seemed more inconsistent in The Crown, especially at the end. Eadlyn is a very strong character, but she is also very cold and blocked off, which makes it more difficult to get to know her as a character. While I really enjoyed The Heir, I really didn’t like The Crown or how it wrapped up the story, which I will describe more later.įor the main character in The Heir and The Crown, you will either love her or hate her. As for these two books, I would give them three stars as a whole, my same rating as the first three books of the series, but would give the books different ratings individually. Even though we do see the characters from the first three books, there aren’t any major revelations in their stories.

Despite my hesitations, I decided to read these two books anyway and found myself with mixed opinion.įirst, I have to agree that The Heir and The Crown are more of a duology than a part of the first three books in the series. I heard many negative reviews about these two books, mostly that they were more on their own duology, weren’t as fun as the original books, and the main character was more unbearable than America Singer.

I was definitely hesitant to pick up the final two books in The Selection series. To quell the riots and earn more public favor, Eadlyn’s parents force her into her own selection. The main character, Princess Eadlyn, finds herself up against a public enraged over discrimination based on former castes, her inexperience in the political arena, and her brash and somewhat cold-hearted personality. The Heir and The Crown by Kiera Cass take place years after the first three books in The Selection series and follow the daughter of America and Prince Maxon.

I don’t not five my final rose to the final two books in The Selection series.
