My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Stars
Quotes to Remember:
“Maybe it's not the first kisses that are supposed to be special. Maybe it's the last ones.”
“And I want us to find our own thing or maybe find out that our own thing is everything, because I feel like if I have him, even the stupid stuff would matter”
“But the truth is, love is as much fate as it is planning, as much a beauty as it is a disaster.”
“It was a delicious feeling, falling in love. I'd had so many luxuries in my life, and I thought I'd had a taste of this before, but I realized now it was merely a cheap imitation of something not meant to be imitated in the first place.”
My Review:
So let's just say that I wasn't expecting it to end in the way that it did. I still love Eadlyn though and I really like how she handled herself and there was a lot going against her in this book. They character development from the start of The Heir and not wanting anything to do with the selection to The Crown and being committed to finding someone is amazing.
She is committed to her country and her family above all else but she is able to also put her own needs as a priority and while she comes off as spoiled at first, she is anything but. I love her. I just don't love the ending of this book. It wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't necessarily what I wanted.
Publisher's Description:
When Eadlyn became the first princess of Illéa to hold her own Selection, she didn’t think she would fall in love with any of her thirty-five suitors. She spent the first few weeks of the competition counting down the days until she could send them all home. But as events at the palace force Eadlyn even further into the spotlight, she realizes that she might not be content remaining alone.
Eadlyn still isn’t sure she’ll find the fairytale ending her parents did twenty years ago. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you…and soon Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more impossible—and more important—than she ever imagined.
