Yet again this was bad. First off I would not call this a "book 4" it is a spin-off duology about the daughter of the original characters. Second off this daughter, Eadlyn, is so annoying and privileged she is not fun to read. Eadlyn spends the entire book being a type-A ass focused only on work and not understanding her privilege or where any of the other characters are coming from, the world revolves around her at all times and barely anyone puts her in her place. We are now 20 years after the end of the 3rd book, Eadlyn will be the first Queen of Illea and her parents ask her to do a Selection in order to create positive press, however, she sucks and instead generates a bunch of bad press. Overall the story is sorta slow and boring, I think because it's from her perspective instead of the selected boys perspective and she barely talks about the selection somehow. Instead the book focuses on her trying to do political work and desk work and then every once in awhile very clinically doing some selection dates. All the boys seem to blend into each other except for Kyle, the son of two characters from the OG books, Henri, a foreigner who barely speaks English and has a translator with him, and Jack, the boy who attacks her.

The last few chapters of this book are where all the action occurs and someone finally puts her in her place. But also the book consistently mentions how old Maxon and America are but if it's only 20ish years in the future....they're only 40?

I will say I am consistently confused by the world-building. At this point the class system has been slowly dismantled by King Maxon...so now it's just a normal monarchial society...? However the countries named in this series are absolutely wild. We have Illea (all of North America and Central America), Russia (is apparently the same I guess), Italy (also apparently the same), France (also the same), the "German Republic" (I guess Germany took over the rest of Europe... that's... not great), "New Asia" (which is presumed to be all Asian and South Asian countries...????), and Swindland (SwedenXNorwayXFinland...which is also....rough). I have truly so many questions about this world including where the hell is Africa, Australia, and South America and why the hell are there these super countries but also why would new countries be named like the shipname of the old countries... so strange. This is only the beginning of whats wrong with this book and series in general...

I would also want to start an uprising if my next queen was going to be Eadlyn. My god that girl is the worst. I enjoyed the tender moments with the guys and getting a glimpse at how America and Maxon’s love had aged. But mostly I am disappointed that two of my favorite characters raised someone like Eadlyn.

This book was not as good that the three before it. I am not as big a fan of Edalyn as I was of America. She seems very bratty and I am not a fan. I do like kile though. And the end had me angry with ahren. However it was awesome to be able to see maxon and america and their happily ever after. I loved that I got to see more of their story.

the original series is my guilty pleasure but this book just does not stack up. if we’re all being honest with ourselves, no one is reading these books for the world building. it’s the characters and relationships that drew me into the original books. i could stand in a puddle of this book and not get me ankles wet, it’s that shallow. main character has her moments but overall is annoying.
