This was so satisfying! I enjoyed 'The Heir' and 'The Crown' so much more than the original first three books tbh.

Beautiful ending to the series! I hope there's a novella afterwards about her and her husband's life. And the changes in the kingdom.
I loved the ending. I love who she chose. I've been rooting for him since the end of book 1. I love the irony in her choice.

I'm so happy that this series has finally come to an end, and a nice ending at that. Seeing Eadlyn mature as not just a character but a Queen as well was incredibly great to see, she wasn't that annoying Teen like she was in The Heir. She owned who she was and proved she was something Fierce. I'm so happy with who she ended up with, because even I would have chosen him. But that said, I wish there was more of America and Maxon. They hardly appeared in the book when it came to all the important Selection parts, but overall it was a nice ending.
Let's just hope that Kiera doesn't add another 2 books on to this series.

This book was a total throw away. And honestly I only just got around to it because it was on hold for almost a year from the library. It was definitely not worth it.
There is almost no plot here, just the fact that she has to pick a fiance at the end. The first two thirds of the book are endless drivel about her 'running the country' and her weird 'dates', but there's no substance to anything. The only characters who have any dimension (Bryce, Aaron, Merritt) are all orbiting figures that seem to only exist when Eadlyn bothers to think of anyone else. And don't get me started on the fake drama Merritt tried to create. What was that? How did that just randomly happen and then go away as quickly?
I just don't know why I bothered.

Me acabé este libro porque era el final tanto de la segunda saga como de la saga en general, pero me costó casi una semana entera hacerlo.
Cada vez sentía que conectaba menos con Eadlyn, no encontraba ningún vínculo con ninguno de los chicos (vamos, que me era indiferente que se quedaran o se fueran porque ninguno me causaba ningún sentimiento) y, aún encima, daba la impresión de que Kiera Cass se había cansado de este universo y quería acabar de escribir este libro lo antes posible (eso, o le dieron una fecha de entrega para aprovechar el tirón que estaba teniendo la saga y tuvo que escribirlo deprisa). Para mí, hay muchas cosas importantes que se pasan por alto y el final es demasiado apurado.
En su favor, he de decir que está bien narrado.
Como ocurre con “La Heredera”, sólo recomiendo este libro si habéis leído la saga principal, os ha gustado mucho y queréis leer algo más de la autora.

De selecties is één van mijn favoriete series. Ik heb met volle teugen genoten van America en ik werd op slag dol op Eadlyn. Helaas heeft het laatste boek me niet zo gegrepen als ik zou willen. Ik was niet emotioneel betrokken, alhoewel ik aan het einde wel een traantje moest wegpinken, werd niet echt gegrepen en geraakt. Ik had bij vlagen het gevoel alsof het boek was afgeraffeld, alsof de schrijfster eigenlijk op het moment dat ze het schreef niet zo invested was als bij haar andere 4 boeken. Misschien komt het door mij en is het boek gewoon niet wat ik er van verwacht of gehoopt had, of misschien was ik niet in de juiste stemming of mood voor het laatste deel. Al met al vond ik het persoonlijk erg onbevredigend. Het was ok, maar niet zo geweldig als zijn voorgangers.
