Description

As the first princess of Illéa, Eadlyn is thrust into a world filled with expectations and tradition. Holding her own Selection is both a privilege and a burden. Eadlyn, determined to prove herself as a capable leader, grapples with the reality of finding a suitable match among a group of suitors vying for her affection. However, her journey is complicated by her reluctance to engage in the process and her desire to maintain control over her destiny.

The suitors come from different backgrounds, each bringing unique traits and challenges to the palace. Eadlyn navigates their personalities while trying to forge her own path, often feeling the weight of the crown pressing down on her. As the Selection unfolds, she learns more about love, loyalty, and the responsibilities that come with her title. It is an emotional rollercoaster where Eadlyn must confront her preconceived notions about romance and leadership.

With a royal life under scrutiny and familial pressures mounting, Eadlyn is challenged to trust her instincts. She finds herself torn between her duty and her growing feelings for certain suitors, leading to difficult decisions. The story reveals the complexities of being an independent woman in a world where tradition often dictates her choices.

Through moments of vulnerability and strength, Eadlyn's journey becomes one of self-discovery. She learns that true strength lies not just in making decisions for herself, but in understanding those around her. The path to love and leadership is fraught with challenges, but ultimately, it leads to profound personal growth and a deeper understanding of what it means to wear the crown.

4.5/5 estrellasSe qu muchos prefieren quedarse con los primeros tres libros, hacer como que estos no existen pero yo lo ame.Me encanto todo el desarrollo de Eadlyn, como va rompiendo ese caparazón que se creo, como fue encontrando el amor. Lo unico que espero es que Madrid no tenga nunca un final feliz.

⭐️ 2.25Meh, I don't know how I went from loving ‘The Selection' and giving it 4 stars to just not giving a toss about the series, but I'm kind of glad I'm finally done with it. It was so much fun at the beginning, but I just never connected with Eadlyn or really cared about her, and that definitely affected my overall enjoyment. I just felt indifferent the whole time, and reading from her perspective felt more like a chore than something I actually enjoyed.Just like the previous book, ‘The Heir’, this one was honestly a drag to finish.How do I feel about the ending and who she picked? I'm fine with it. I can see why he was the final choice, especially after this book. He was actually my second pick, but I'm still not heavily invested in the pairing, it was just fine.Like I said in my ‘The Heir’ review, I honestly kind of wish Kiera Cass had ended the series with ‘The One’.

I loved this extension of the Selection series and liked that they included multiple links to the previous series. Such as Gavril, Marlee and obviously America and Maxon. I would recommend this duology but it wasn't as good as the first trilogy. It was still good to read however I did want the friends-to-lovers trope with Kile.
