Wait. Didn't Maxon and America both want to end the selection? Isn't it just a little out of character for them to consider putting their children through one??? 
 That's not even my biggest problem. Eadlyn. 
 Oh Eadlyn... 
 She earned her rank in my top most hated characters. Here we get America's fire but without the appeal. 
 See, America had motive. Her fight was justified. Her daughter though? She is just spoiled and ungrateful. Like - her parents gave her equality to a man in her position, but she scoffs at it because her future wont be easy. "Plenty is demanded of me now," says the main character who literally just received the first tiny bit of work for weeks (and is even procrastinating on it). She might need an extra massage to make it through the day as queen. Poor thing. 
 Fine. Go work on a farm if that's what you want. Why are we reading this when she has a TWIN brother who could easily claim the throne?? 
 Then she contradicts herself by saying she is so strong that she don't need no husband to sit on the throne with her. 
 ...Even though she doesn't want the throne. 
 Got it. 
 So does she want it or not?? Does she just enjoy complaining?? (Because that makes for fun reading...) 
 THEN we get to watch her insult everyone with her classist beliefs and selfish attitude. Her plan is to torment her suitors into leaving on their own terms. Charming. 
 Yeah... I'm going to bail too. For good. No moving onto The Crown for me. Good work, Eadlyn! (<-This is coming from someone who put The Selection on their favourite book list)
