The Heir - Kiera Cass

The Heir - Kiera Cass ★★★★ 4.0

This book gets 4 stars! Here's why:

• Princess books, in general
• Eadlyn's brothers <3
• Another Selection... with 35 GUYS instead.
• And finally, Hale, Henri, Kile, Fox, and Erik. But especially Hale.

Okay, so I was incredibly surprised upon learning that there would be a new Selection book. And kind of thrilled. Because... the tables have been turned. I figured with 35 guys in the palace, it would be HILARIOUS. This book slightly disappointed me because of that. And Eadlyn is not my favorite. I didn't like America in the first three Selection books, but Eadlyn is SO spoiled and SO rude and SO arrogant. I 100% agreed with Ahren's letter to her at the end. Which brings me to...

her brothers! I loved them!

I loved that she had only brothers and they were so protective and cute and sweet and not afraid to tell her the truth, even if it hurt her. I think Kiera Cass made a great choice with those boys.

But the rest of the book was kind of bleh for me. Not bad, not great. Maybe it only deserves 3.5 stars - I'm not sure. I think the next book will be MUCH better. Because WHY ON EARTH would you take a situation like that and get rid of so many guys so quickly? I would have liked to get to know them better first. She probably should have gotten to know them as well. I hated her attitude.

But the boys we DID start getting to know - like Hale, Henri, Kile, Fox, and Erik - were great characters. I'd definitely like to hear more about Hale and Fox in particular. I think Hale is my favorite so far, though.

However, I have this weird feeling about Erik... This is maybe a weird prediction, but I think she's going to fall for Erik, the translator. We'll see.

That's about all I have to say. It was good, but not great. I think the next books will be promising though.
