The Heir by Kiera Cass

*NOTE* This review contains spoilers from previous books... and this one.

"The Heir" by Kiera Cass is the fourth installment of The Selection series. This book takes place 18 plus years after America and Maxon get married and become the king and queen and is centered around their daughter Eadlyn. Even though America and Maxon got rid of the caste system soon after their reign began, an uprising has started and they are looking for ways to rally the country together again.

Princess Eadlyn has no need for a husband and fully intends to reign alone when it is her time. In order to bring joy and unity back into the country, she has agreed to a selection of her own. Thirty five young men from across the country (and beyond) are selected and Eadlyn is full of ideas about how to make them run.

In the midst of dating and keeping up with her duties, Eadlyn has to face adversity and very real fear. Her twin brother (born seven minutes after her), Ahren elopes with his French princess, and her mother, America suffers a life threatening heart attack.

I rated this book four out of five stars. The time jump confused me going into this book as I was fully expecting more America and Maxon. I didn't mind Eadlyn's attitude and behavior because it allowed for a decent progression throughout the novel. It's clear that there is more to this story and look forward to reading the next in the series, "The Crown." (16/100)
