Thank GOD this series is finished! Honestly, books 4 and 5 could've just been combined and I only read books 2-5 because I just CAN'T leave a series unfinished. Ugh. Thank GOD it's over!!

Is there anything better than a book you can't stop reading and inspires pure happiness and love?

I have never read about a main character as insufferable as Eadlyn Schreave. I wanted to like her, but she annoyed me SO MUCH in these two books. She at least became tolerable at the end, and I rate it this high just because of the other characters in the story. But I just couldn’t love her like I wanted. I’m glad I read it simply for the conclusion of The Selection series, but not my favorite by a long shot.

Es hat mich tatsächlich ein bisschen überrascht, in welche Richtung die Story sich entwickelt hat und das hätte ich nach dem ersten Teil wirklich nicht erwartet. Auch Eadlyns Entwicklung war echt schön, nachdem sie im ersten Teil so dermaßen ätzend und selbstbezogen war.
Trotzdem fand ich die Liebesgeschichte letztlich irgendwie nicht so ganz überzeugend und die Gefühle kamen für mich ehrlich gesagt ein bisschen aus dem Nichts 😅

I get that Eadlyn was supposed to be annoying and entitled so that she could have a redemption arc, but I hated her then and while I never loved her, I did like her a bit more in this book than in the last one. I cried THREE TIMES. I was really rooting for Kile, I have to say.
I did appreciate Eadlyn trying to pick Henri and Henri being like “bitch I can’t speak English but I can smell a liar a mile away” and graciously telling Eadlyn that he knows she's in love with Erik.
Also I feel like the decision to turn the country into a Constitutional Monarchy maybe should've taken longer than 2.2 seconds but I am not in politics so what do I know?
The reason this got 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because the end didn’t make a lick of sense and her and Erik seemed rushed.
As with the original Selection trilogy, the author does a really, really amazing job at developing individual personalities and quirks that make you fall for every single person in the competition in a different way.
