I read The Selection series as a light, fluffy read. I definitely didn't expect this series to branch out farther than those three books. There was nothing here that truly impressed me, the story had already been told before. I skimmed over parts of this and sometimes grew a little bored, and I think it's mainly because I found Eadlyn to be absolutely insufferable. Sure, I get it, Cass is trying to get across to the reader that Eadlyn is independent but bratty/spoiled/rude/whiny/powerful single lady. It just wasn't endearing whatsoever. This book just wasn't my cup of tea, but I can see why some people would enjoy it.
