I loved the Selection Trilogy, and I can't believe it took me so long to finally read The Heir. Playing Catch Up has really been helping me through my ever growing TBR list. I'd like to welcome all other blogs to participate too! If you do, be sure to post your links in the comments section. I'd love to see your Playing Catch Up Reviews, and I'm sure others would too!! *wink*
Want to know more about Playing Catch Up? I'll tell you all about it here!
Genre: Young Adult (Dystopian/Romance)
Date Published: May 5, 2015
Publisher: HarperTeen
Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.
But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.
Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.
The Heir is the fourth book in the Selection series by Kiera Cass. I thought this series was ending with The One. So, I was super excited when I heard about this book coming out, and I'm glad to finally have a chance to read it. So, you may worry that it'll be too much like the prior three, but basically the "Selection" itself is the only big similarity. Eadlyn is completely different from America in pretty much every way. She's grown up a princess, making her a touch spoiled with an outlook on life that America never would have dreamed of before her Selection. As far as the guys are concerned, I can see this going any number of ways. There is no triangle, or square, or anything yet. In fact, the last thing Eadlyn wants is to fall in love and get married. She just wants to do her job. Of course, I already have my favorites of the guys narrowed down, but who knows if my picks will even make it. The one I like most is highly unlikely to happen, but we'll see. *wink*
