The Crown by Kiera Cass

4.0

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.
