I must say, hats off to the author for carefully choosing her dynamic and distinct characters unlike the last time.

There she and her parents once again hold that same old tradition to choose a suitable groom for their princess although like we know from the previous books that the caste system has been destroyed, yet still anybody can take part in the male version of The Selection.

After Maxon and America got married like a fairytale with lots of bliss and glitters, they gave birth to a twin boy and a girl, but Eadlyn happens to be the one who will be the first queen of Illea and she is prepared and trained for that purpose rigorously, but we are not sure whether Eadlyn will be a queen right at the end of the book, instead, the storyline of the book remains centered around Eadlyn and her spoilt ways of living her life inside the palace. I also never thought the author would take yet another chance with The Selection series, since, in the end, America managed to imprint herself upon my mind, and in The Heir, America's story is now overshadowed by her daughter, Eadlyn. PS: Although, I never read the reviews before hand or ever feel bad by the ratings of a book, even though I loved the book, but today and especially for this book, I would kindly request all reviewers to judge the book by it's technical aspects like writing style or narrative or prose or pace, but not by it's characterization, if you didn't like a character, do not show your anger on the author, since it might be Cass' intention to not to make her main character an easy one to fall for easily, moreover I agree with some reviewers who believe that Cass is one of the bravest authors in the YA lit world. and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.

But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.īut a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection-no matter how fervently she protests.Įadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon-and they lived happily ever after.

Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Kiera Cass, the best-selling author of The Selection series pens her fourth book in this enchanting dystopian series, The Heir that traces the love story of Prince Maxon and America's daughter, Eadlyn, who too follows the same path like her father's to find a suitable husband for herself.
