Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass

4.0

First off, I have to say that the cover and illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. The first novellas titled The Queen tells Amberly's story when she was in the Selection process and I honestly thought she was treated like a dog. Prince Clarkson could have told her to kill herself and she would have. She was completely stupid and actually more naïve than America and Eadlyn (I know right? How the hell does that happen?)

I read The Prince and The Guard a few weeks back and really loved Maxon's story. In fact I wanted more of it because Maxon is a guy for everyone. He's strong, sweet, kind, loyal and handsome. Anything with more Maxon is a good thing. The Guard, however, was just not good. It rehashed Aspen's and America's story and I didn't appreciate that. I wanted Aspen and Lucy's story.

The last proper novella followed Marlee, The Favourite. And I loved it so much. Seeing Marlee's present (just before the caning took place) and past (when she first met Carter) story was perfect in every way. And I couldn't have wanted more.

We then have a few scenes from Celeste's POV and a chapter from Lucy, America's maid who later falls in love with Aspen. I loved them both, definitely preferred Celeste's part since I've always loved her. She was a horrible Bitch who was misunderstood.

Overall, this book bind up of Novellas was pretty much perfect.
