So...
I reallyyy enjoyed the first 4 books in this series - like completely went obsessed with them
but srsly - what happened here?!
Don't get me wrong, I love Eadlyn - her sass, attitude and character rocks and [b:The Heir|22918050|The Heir (The Selection, #4)|Kiera Cass|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1422993526l/22918050._SY75_.jpg|42484814] was just amazing...
but here...
spoilers for y'all who want to be enlightened on why you should just stop at [b:The Heir|22918050|The Heir (The Selection, #4)|Kiera Cass|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1422993526l/22918050._SY75_.jpg|42484814] or those who've also had to suffer through this ending...
First of all let's talk about husbands. I was ROOTING for Kile. I mean that. What part of them would NOT be a happy couple?!
Yeah yeah I get that she was sooo selfless and all sending him to the other side of the country BUT CMON KEIRA you can't lead us on and let us all start rooting for Kile after all those swoon-worthy kisses just to swerve and hastily change directions a couple of pages before the book finishes!!!
I mean yeah - Eikko is sweet and all... buttt Kile and Eadlyn were meant to be - sorry Eikko fans.
As I mentioned earlier the ending felt wayyyy too hasty for my liking. And also isn't Eadlyn supposed to be this strong girl who can stand her ground??? Why then is she hastily amending plans after the slightest threat from Madrid??!! Like whyyyy?!
bUT onto other parts of the story:
-really glad Mer made it out alive - that girl is a fighter.
-Ahren and Camille are sooo sweetttttt :)
-I'm glad Josie stopped being such a brat - and am i the only one hoping for maybe a book on her and Kaden???
-HELLO?! How did we not know aboutLady Aunt Brice earlier?! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!
I mean the book wasn't written badly or anything... just a bad decision towards the end... so 3.5/4 stars it is...

Not quite 4-stars but better than the book before it! Eadlyn grows on readers a little bit (just a little) throughout this book, but she still falls flat for me after having America as a stellar protagonist for the first three books of this series. Eikko was the best character in this book, in my opinion, and I was just relieved to see him get a happy ending since I couldn't remember how this book ended. I finished my series re-read and I am as obsessed with it now as I was at 11! Also, woot woot, I finished my reading goal for the year with 4 days to spare (even though the last 5 books were from this series and were easy reads)!

This was such an easy book to get through. I did have some problems with it however. I found myself bored a lot during the beginning and I thought there was a few scenes that were unnecessary drama and also it felt a little rushed. But i am happy with the ending and actually ended up enjoying it

Look, I've said this and I'll say it a hundred times again.
The three first books are soooo much better.
This one's not as bad as The Heir, but it still missed something. I didn't really get the love story I was hoping for. After all, she is America's and Maxon's daughter.
I really enjoyed Eikko's and Eadlyn's relationship and it was much better than the fourth book.
It had more exciting scenes.
4/5.

I don't know if I want to sob, scream, throw up, or jump for joy. I genuinely have no clue. What I do know, though, is that I absolutely loved this book. I'm looking at that 3.5 star rating with my jaw on the floor because WHAT?! How anyone can read this story and not feel immediately emotional and inspired is beyond my comprehension. It's a story of love and finding yourself, so I say screw that low rating. This entire series has been one of the best things I've read. Seriously. Obviously, some books were better than others, but I will adamantly defend each one. I'm so sad this series is over with a very open end to it, but in my head, I know just how the story continues.
