I loved seeing the character progression in this book. Honestly by the end I had no idea just how much I felt for those two characters and it literally had me in tears. Beautiful ending.

A big step up from book 4, but not entirely a return to form -- this book just does not provide the same tea as the original trilogy and the narrative is poorly constructed, and that was not even a strength of the first 3 books.

The ending couple of chapters seemed extremely rushed, and I didn’t like that she 1. Basically only stated through the entire book that Eadlyn had feelings for Kile up until 2 seconds before she kisses Erik, 2. That she brutally dumps Kile after telling him that she loves him 3. She then banishes him for a year - although that was their original deal for her to convince his parents to let him go or whatever, and 4. That her 2 minute romance with Erik overpowered the whole selection and basically ruined everything she tried to fix for the country.

Honestly super cheesy and cliche. The ending felt really awkward and just didn't cut it for me

This book is a rather good ending to the beloved series. Still, I can't help but think America's story is more memorable and captivating than Eadlyn's. Now, I guess it's time for me to have a book hangover. The Selection has finally ended.

This was a much better read than the previous book. I think we were all a little surprised at how unlikable Edalyn turned out to be, but luckily this seems to have been the author's intention all along - the second half of the last book saw some hopeful signs of character growth and this definitely continued on into The Crown. Edalyn has grown a lot and seems to have turned the corner. She has learned to let others in and experience the world through new eyes and even better - she falls in love.
