Book Review: The Heir by Kiera Cass

The Heir by Kiera Cass

Book #4 in the Selection series is officially out!  For those looking to continue Prince Maxom and America's love story, be prepared.  The Heir takes place eighteen years in the future and focuses on their daughter, Eadlyn, who is in training to become the next queen.  I was a bit confused in the beginning, but once I realized the new storyline, it read just like all of the other books in the Selection series - fast and just like the "Bachelorette."  

Summary by Goodreads:

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.

My Thoughts:

Kiera Cass has a knack for writing these "Bachelor/Bachelorette" type stories that the high school girls love.  The Heir is no different.  I read through this quickly.  Don't expect this one to leave you with any closure - just like the others, Cass leaves you hanging.  Book #5 can't come soon enough.
