I give this book 2 stars because I have mixed feelings about it. It is so much like The Selection it's ridiculous! 
 Eadlyn is the worst protagonist. She's selfish, arrogant, unlikeable - biggest brat in literature. 
 Two of my favourite Quotes of her (so you get the feeling of her personality): 
 "No one was more powerful than me. 
 So if they thought I was going down without a fight, they were sadly mistaken." 
 "I loved my dad. But I also loved myself. And I would have to live with me much longer." 
 How are we supposed to like someone and care about her at all. Her attitude is awful! 
 STILL I have to confess: Every freaking book of "The Selection" series kind of awakens this obsession in me and I just want to know what's happening. Every book is so short and such an easy read. The writing style is plain, the dialogue is often terrible and I have to cringe at the awkwardness of the plot a lot. I mean it's so unrealistic and it's a total reboot of The Selection. 
 But that is the reason why it works. It's so bad that it's actually good. 
 So come on, give me the last book. So I can get it over with. The guilty pleasure feeling is strong with this one!
