** spoiler alert ** 
 Unlike The Heir, Eadlyn was less of spoiled brat, finally had some good ideas and was far more enjoyable than in The Heir. 
 Otherwise, there wasn't much. I think that Kiera Cass may have been tired of writing the Selection books. The plot was something terrible. 
 How - and I ask how? could Eadlyn chose the last six without her even being on dates with last two? Her sudden decision of being the queen and the coronation in just one week? Alright. But to decide that the kingdom will become constitutional monarchy without consulting it first? Pfff... 
 Let's get to the Elite, shall we? 
 First of all, the idea of Hale and Ean being homosexual, that's something that totally got me. I didn't like Ean, he was just too... slimy. Hale was my best choice, since I didn't like Kile. But, well, it was an adult decision of Eadlyn to let them pass without being accused of treason. 
 Kile was obvious choice from the beginning. They grew up together, but in the page where she was going to propose to him? To actually banish him from the castle? I thought that Eadlyn was more clever than that. 
 Henri... Sure he is nice and all of that, but obviously, the language barrier. But he did a very good thing in the end - and that's why I like him so much. 
 Erik/Eikko - I liked him from the start when he appeared in The Heir. He was just something between - he was exactly what I was looking for in a boy (whether in a book or in reality). His character just got me in and he's actually the reason why I gave 3 stars. I was a fan of his and believed that he would end up with the princess. 
 That's all. 
 Their romance seemed artificial, it would be better if it was developed through the books. One minute they were just the princess and the translator, and in the other they were all lovey-dovey. 
 Finally it's end - of this review and this series.
