El hate de verdad no lo entiendo para nada. ¡El libro tenía de todo! Muchas de las críticas son que la protagonista es “spoiled” y “bratty” lo cual si tiene sus momentos, pero hay q tener en cuenta que ella tiene 18 años y todavía está intentado de descubrirse ella misma. Es una 5 estrellas ⭐️ sin duda. No puedo esperar a leer el último libro

The elegant and hopeless romance of The Heir by Kiera Cass, is entertaining as we enter a world of unbelievable beauty and endless passion. Cass continues The Selection Series, providing a fourth installment that follows America Singer’s and Prince Maxon’s new family, specifically their oldest daughter and future queen of Illea, Princess Eadlyn Schreave.
Soon after America and Maxon got married as a result to the selection process, the caste system was removed from the country making uprisings a common practice around Illea. In order to distract the people of Illea from such violence, the royal family decide to hold a selection for Eadlyn, in which would be the first selection where men will be the ones who will be the selected. Eadlyn, however thinks of herself as a powerful, independent, and controlled young lady and believes that the selection is foolish and unnecessary, refusing to let anyone into her heart and her personal life.
Eadlyn is different from her mother America (when America went through the selection and the first three books). She is a modern princess with angst. Her personality is intimidating and strong and most of the time annoying. She comes off as a spoiled immature brat who doesn’t know what or how her life fits in anywhere, in her family’s, in her country’s, or even in the selection. All she cares about is the fact that one day she will be queen and in her mind a queen must be strong and just and independent. The fact that she refusing to let go, even after her comprised with her father about have the selection and keeping it going for three months. Eadlyn is the cause of most of her own problems but yet refuses to see that she is the one to blame. Her own twin brother who she loves beyond reason, even tell her so and tries to show her that the selection for her is a good thing. Eadlyn being her bratish self will not be convince however and still will not see her own faults throughout this selection. But as the selection goes on, we see that Eadlyn though thick-headed at time, needs someone who, she can confide to and love her for what she is. We start to see that she is capable of kindness and fun.
We also get to see the 35 suitor in which Eadlyn must interact with and start to develop our own feelings about them. I must say this is more entertaining because it's hard to guess who she is going to end up with. Out of all the suitors, three had potentials to win Eadlyn's heart: Henri, Kile and Hale. Though I would also say that Henri’s interrupter, Erik, may have a chance to win Eadlyn’s heart even though he is not in the selection. After finishing the book, I am not even sure if my guess is right because these gentlemen are beautiful inside and out in their own ways. I have never been this torn. So I think I will let my guess of who will be Eadlyn’s choice still be undecided until I am sure I know.
As for Illea, the country is in distress with roits and uproar at how the monarchy has changed the caste system and caused problems throughout the life of its population. People believe that the caste system still lives and that many are still holding fast to it, causing an unfairness in the society of Illea. Eadlyn is another reason that Illea is in such disaccord, though we are truly unsure as to why. Her brother mentions that fact to her as he tries to explain how she could rule better, being a queen that all will love and how the selection is a good thing that she should embrace it and not disregard it.
Aside from that, it’s so nice to see America and Maxon. Even as they aged, their sweetness and undying love are so adorable! They still make me feel giddy. I also loved the bond between Eadlyn and Ahren as well as their younger siblings. I swear, it's so adorable when they are all together. Overall, I love it and it's worth waiting for. This is a cliffhanger and I need to have the 5th book soon.

Not my favorite book in this series, the story seems to be dragging a little bit and I didn’t connect as much with the characters choices. That being said, I still found it enjoyable and still recommend this series.

Cass should have just stopped at The One. honestly the only book I truely enjoyed was the very first one , The Selection.
The Heir was not doing it for me. I've never really felt disconnected with a character so much. eadlyn personality was too self-centered, bratty and spoiled to the point I didn't even want to finish it. I only pulled through because I was already halfway and purchased the hardcopy. right in the first chapter, the author already lost me as a fan. I couldn't stand Eadlyn. I was hoping for some character growth buy even that wasn't delivered. the more I read, the more I wanted to reach in the book and slap some sense into the main character. overall, I'm extremely diaapointd in this book. it was nothing compared to the first three. not even close. I wish the author can just put an end it once and for all.

Debo decir que pensaba que le iba a dar a este libro tres estrellas porque prácticamente todas las personas que sigo le han puesto esa puntuación, pero me ha gustado más de lo que esperaba.
Como muchos sabréis, esta cuarta entrega nos cuenta, veinte años después de La Elegida, la vida de la hija de America, Eadlyn, y como tiene su propia Selección.
Para empezar, me gustaría hablar de nuestra protagonista. Al principio me parecía una niña acomodada e insufrible que solo pensaba en que nadie era más poderoso que ella pero a lo largo del libro debo decir que me empezó a gustar mucho más como personaje, aunque no la llegué a amar completamente.
Una cosa que me molestó bastante también fue, que tanto Maxon como America son totalmente diferentes a como los pintaban en los primeros tres libros. Sobretodo America. Sé que está el tema de que ahora son rey y reina y tienen mucha presión sobre sus hombros y tal pero me hubiera gustado que hubieran mantenido la esencia de siempre.
En cuanto a los seleccionados, no llegué a conocer a muchos pero los que más me gustaron fueron Henri, que me parecía muy dulce y tierno, Erik, que aunque no fuera un seleccionado tenía algo que me encantaba, Kile, que también me llegó a gustar bastantito y Ean, aunque de este no llegué a saber mucho pero me pareció bastante misterioso. También le dan algo de protagonismo a Hale, otro seleccionado, pero este me resultó bastante indiferente.
Pasando al hermano de Eadlyn, Ahren, me pareció que la autora quiso hacernos pensar que tenían una relación muy unida y que se querían mucho, pero no me llegaron a convencer como tal.
Como siempre, esta cuarta parte me enganchó desde el principio hasta el final y se me hizo cortísima al igual que todos los libros de La Selección . Kiera Cass tiene una manera tan sencilla de redactar las cosas que simplemente me encanta.
Es cierto que prefiero mucho más los tres primeros libros que cuentan la historia entre Maxon y America pero este tampoco ha estado mal y estoy esperando a leerme la quinta parte cuanto antes y espero que la saquen muy pronto.
