 Okay, okay, okay. 
 I wasn't blown away by this book. 
 I think between The Heir and The Crown, I read some really great books that had fantastic writing and loose ends the author came back to later and each book was ended perfectly and, so, not knowing about books like those, I thought Kiera Cass's writing was the best thing ever. 
 Don't get me wrong- I adore The Selection series, and although the writing may not be the best, it's still great. Considering that, I still felt underwhelmed by The Crown. 
 So, Eadlyn didn't really annoy me in The Heir, because I had no other great powerful characters to compare her to. In The Crown, she makes decisions that will change a whole country in 0.2 seconds without anyone giving her the okay. I feel like she was so rude in changing other people's lives for what she thinks is the better but they'd rather do something else. (view spoiler)[(Cough cough, KILE.) (hide spoiler)] 
 Normally at the end of Kiera Cass books, I'm a mess of feelings and I'd be so sad that this was ending, but I've made my peace with it ending since (view spoiler)[ she ends up with the person that there was NO hints as to their relationship in The Heir and I felt the romance was w a y too forced. (She didn't even realize she loved him until he gave her that ring. How does she love him? How has she gotten to know him? Uuuuuugh.) (hide spoiler)] 
 In conclusion (and probably not conclusion since i'm not satisfied with this book), a lot of things felt too forced for me to fully like this book, but it was still okay. 
 **Side note- I am a feminist, but the statements like "I just remembered that I can rule a country and still like flowers." are SO forced and it didn't flow naturally.
