The Crown by Kiera Cass

3.0

Actual rating: 3.5 stars

A satisfying conclusion to The Selection series but it still fell short on a few things for me. The writing style was not as magical as I remembered and some conversations felt awkward or forced. Most happenings were predictable except for the fact that
SpoilerHale and Ean are in love with each other.


YOU'RE A PSYCHIC IF YOU SAW THAT COMING.
SpoilerEadlyn and Eikko's romance
seemed rushed and so did the last few chapters. I wish Kiera Cass wrote a few more chapters in this book or even in The Heir to build up the events and justify some outcomes of the story instead of pouring them down all at once. Although I still loved the ever-present humor, cutesy feel of Kiera Cass's stories and the easiness of the book. The Crown is a very light and quick read in my opinion. It's just a few very fast-paced pages after all.

I don't know if The Selection series has finally lost its charm or this one just didn't do it for me. I'd only recommend reading this for closure on what happens to America and Eadlyn.
