Alongside the romantic setting, strong political themes comprise the selection series. In this book, her selection comes to a close as she chooses a husband. In the book that preceded the crown, Eadyln Schreave, the princess born to America and Maxon, began the process of her own selection.
#PICTURE OF MAOXN OFF OF THE ONE BY KIERA CASS SERIES#
Fans were ecstatic when a fourth book was announced after this series was thought to be finished. A selection is when eligible candidates are brought to the castle to court the prince until he decides which guest is a suitable bride. The first three books explored the relationship growing between America Singer and Prince Maxon Schreave during a selection. This is the fifth book in the renewed Selection Series by Kiera Cass. Eadlyn's attitude about doing what she doesn't like really bothers me, which shows her entitlement and that angers me.Brief Summary- Will not contain spoilers! The real issue I had was that Eadlyn seemed so self-centered, but that partly has to do with the fact that she is somewhat sheltered and has a ton of comfort, which she does not want to give up. I feel like her growth is very slow in this novel so I have a feeling her growth will be much quicker in the next/last installment. She wants to help her parents and her country the best she can, but her fears of getting married are very valid and seem to be a normal response to her privileged upbringing. Eadlyn is sometimes hard to handle because she is whiny and can be just as stubborn as her mother as she starts to feel the heavyweight of running Illea as queen soon. And sure, America had her heart broken prior to The Selection and had a ton of missteps because her heart wasn't completely in it, but she naturally progressed into the beloved character you see in The Heir. We all knew America as this stubborn mostly-selfless protagonist who has gone through so much in her childhood.
You get to see how men can be like when they are put in a situation where they are fighting for the hand of the future queen. This book gives you a glimpse of what it's like to be on the opposite side of The Selection than you did in the trilogy with a female lead.Her brothers (Ahren, Kaden, and Osten) are adorable and it makes me wish I had more brothers that I was close to if I had that many.She is stubborn and strong like her mother America, but she is also very devoted and driven like her father Maxon. You can definitely tell that Eadlyn is her parents' child.The suitors are a diverse group of mostly nice young men.America and Maxon have managed to make peace in their country! Or did they? Aspen is redeemable in this book, but I think that's thanks to Lucy. America and Maxon are still adorable and wonderful parents. All the interactions that Eadlyn has with the characters from the original trilogy seemed very authentic but in a more mature manner. You got to see where all of the characters ended up with their roles from America and Maxon to Marlee and Aspen to May and Lucy. I really loved how you got to see all the main and supporting characters as well as some homages to others from the original trilogy. Before I talk about the main storyline and Eadlyn, we need to talk about the characters who are around from the trilogy.
You also see The Selection when the narrator is the bachelorette and has many suitors. You get a glimpse of what royalty is like.
