I wasnt as big a fan of The Heir as I was the first three of the Selection Series, so I wasnt too excited to jump into this book either. But I will say that I was gladly surprised at this book and how it ended. I found myself rooting for the boys like I was rooting for the girls in the first book. I did feel, when I was reading The Heir and The Crown that Eadlyn was snobby, and I didnt connect with her character. But I realise now, that that was probably Kiera Cass' point. To portray her like that and then have her evolve into the character that she is at the end of the The Crown was wonderful. All in all, I still think the Selection series didnt need the last two books, but they were a good story and a nice little addition.
