JUST WHEN GILLIAN THOUGHT SHE WAS A FREE ELF

Update:What can I say? This book was even better than I hoped it would be. I just absolutely love this series.I can't wait for the next book to come out!---OH MY GOD I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOOK IN THE SELECTION SERIES I CAN'T STOP SCREAMING I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW OH MY AGSUIDODGFHODPODJF

WTF did I just read?I was so excited to finally get my hands on The Heir!! I bought a hardcover copy with its GORGEOUS cover, just like the other three. I couldn't wait to finally meet Eadlyn Schreave and the rest of Maxon and America's babies. Although the Selection Series should've ended with The One, I was still pretty hyped about the fourth book, The Heir, because well... KIERA CASS IS LIFE. ♥ && Sweet Baby Jesus, AMERICA AND MAXON. Ahahaaha, I understand why readers disliked Eadlyn Schreave...

The Heir is book four in the series The Selection by Kiera Cass. I, like so many others, thought this series was going to end with the final book of the trilogy. I was happily surprised when I learned the series would be continued. I have been addicted to these books from the beginning and I loved this new book.It’s been twenty years since the end of the last book. America and Maxon’s first children were twins, Eadlyn and Ahren. Eadlyn was born first so she is the first in line to the throne

“I only have one heart, and I'm saving it.” So The Heir was incredibly entertaining and Eadlyn(what a stupid name) is slightly less annoying than America(which is still too much).This 4th instalment is really cheesy. Kiera Cass gushed over America's and Maxon's happily ever after relationship. We get it, they are perfect for each other, soul mates, etc.The protagonist is a strong female character and I like that she kicks ass. This sequel has a strong feminist message.But apart from that, she

First gutter trash of the year. Ok - to catch everyone up, America Singer lives in a country where the next queen is chosen ala The Bachelor. Prince Maxon took three long (lonnnnng) books to pick America to be his bride. Their story is a happily-ever-after-hippie-yippie-lovefest...or is it?Twenty years down the line, their eldest (Eadlyn) is eighteen and of marrying age.Since there is a bout of civil unrest, King Maxon and Queen America decide to hunker down, deal with the current socioeco

So, I didn't like this book as much as I liked the first 3 books. I think that's because Eadlyn was insufferable and I wanted to punch her EVERYTIME. She's bratty, spoiled and whenever someone disagrees with her, she tells them she'll be the future queen (as if they have to shut up for that reason). I don't really hate her, but I don't like her at all.At first I didn't like any of the selected boys and I had a hard time remembering who was who, but now I kind of like Henri... and that's it. Ean

YOU GUYS. Is it possible that a book could be WORSE than The Selection, with an even more dreadful heroine, with even more terrible worldbuilding? Can such a thing happen? I know you fall asleep each night wondering. WONDER NO MORE. The answer has arrived. Yes. Yes, such a book can exist! And it is this one.ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?First, it is worth noting that on top of the problems that plagued earlier books in this series, this book has spectacularly awful timing, coming out, as it does, in th...

Basically.Update:I'm enthralled, yet confused, with this cover.

“I only have one heart, and I’m saving it.” Why do I always finish these books in tears?Okay, so it’s no secret that I loved the Selection books, and I have to admit, that I loved this one too Eadlyn was a character that at times came across as bratty, selfish, and totally full of herself. But then she’d do something that would make me laugh, or something so outrageous whilst totally owning it, and I totally fell in love with her. Sure she was naïve, and her youth worked against her at times,

I was going to be queen, and a queen could be many things . . . but vulnerable wasn't one of them. I have no problem with female characters having an ego. Everyone can have one, right? You can be awesome, and I'll be cool with that. What I hate - what I can't stand, is a person who treats others like shit for no reason, and this beautiful princess named Eadlyn managed to get on my nerves every damn second of my read. Bratty, spoiled and immature doesn't begin to cover it. Quotes a tom

“You know how your mother and I met,” Dad began.I rolled my eyes. “Everyone does. You two are practically a fairy tale.”If you thought America was annoying in the original trilogy, then wait to meet Eadlyn. She's America's daughter and heir to the throne of the ridiculous kingdom of Illéa.The first thing you need to know is how unfair life is for Eadlyn. Her parents just disolved the law that said that the male firstborn was going to be the king, and so, now if the firstborn is a girl, she can b...

I did a full booktalk for this ages ago..... I FORGOT TO MARK IT AS FINISHED. HERE'S THE BOOKTALK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTIIV...

Eadyln is definitely not America. And I could not be happier. Thank you, Cass, for giving me a princess I can root for. I read the Selection series for Maxon (who didn't?) and it was refreshing to find myself drawn toward the protagonist for once. Now, some people are going to hate her. Eady comes across very spoiled and selfish at first glance, but whereas America was wishy-washy and driven by a constant state of indecision, Eady knows what she wants and doesn’t apologize for it. And I for one

Sigh. I'm a little disappointed in this edition to The Selection Series. I don't know what I was truly expecting when I picked this up but this wasn't it. This probably wont be one of the longest reviews, but that's because I don't have much to say. Overall I don't even feel like this edition needed to be written because it really didn't add anything that wasn't already there.Eadlyn the heir to the throne and our leading lady, is a total bitch. I know a lot of people will say "oh well she has he...

My blog: http://reading-is-dreaming-with-open-..."You can be brave and still be feminine. You can lead and still love flowers. Most importantly, you can be queen and still be a bride."If I had to say one word about The Heir, I'd go with underwhelming. It was not a bad book but I just couldn't like it as much as I did The Selection. Even at the best parts it couldn't live up to the previous books and I mainly blame the narrator for that. Eadlyn had a lot of potential but unfortunately she failed

He took in a breath. “You are so beautiful.”“So I’ve been told. You can go now.” I swept my arm across my body, pointing to the Men’s Parlor.As it seems Kiera Cass’s “The Selection” series continues to be some sort of guilty pleasure read for me. *lol* Though I’ve to say that America was about a thousand times more likeable than her daughter Eadlyn. Boy, that girl is spoiled and obnoxious. She might have learned all the proper etiquette and how to run a country, but she certainly didn’t learn ho...

“I’m smart and beautiful and strong. I don’t need to be rescued.”I don't know if you noticed but no one asked“Didn't they know who I was, what they'd trained me for? I was Eadlyn Schreave. No one was more powerful than me. (LMAOOO Not her hyping herself up)So if they thought I was going down without a fight, they were sadly mistaken.”OK“Love did nothing but break down defenses, and I could not afford that.”Ahahahaha, of course(we won't that now, would we??)“I'm a princess. I have everything."“I...

SPOILER FREE REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKp3q...I'm sad that I can't honestly give this 5 stars. It's sitting in between a 4.5 and 4 right now, leaning more towards the 4.I actually enjoyed Eadlyn. Sure she was a brat, but she was kind of starting to realize that and trying to grow out of it. I loved that the family played a big role in this book. Loved seeing Maxon (obviously) and even America. I also enjoyed that there's not really a clear front runner for her selection and there'...

I'm loving Eadlyn's character development so far! Can't wait for the next one!
