Hmmm I think I choose the wrong start of The Selection Series. I pass all the first three books, and directly read The Heir. Honestly, it makes me decide that this one is enough and don’t have any interest to start reading the series.
Synopsis
The major politics points in Illea is the caste system. After Prince Maxon – now king – dissolve the caste system, the problem is still alive. Former members of lowly castes are still being discriminated against, can’t find jobs, and revolt to have the royal family step in.
Instead, the royal family decide to bringing back the Selection, put their daughter and the future queen, Eadlyn, as the bachelorette. (Seem it is the second round after Prince Maxon, now king, do his own Selection and choose America as his queen). Eadlyn is very independent and never intended to marry; she wants to rule Illea entirely on her own. But during The Selection, she found that maybe happily ever after is not as impossible as she thought.
Casting
Princess Aedlyn – not my favorite character. As a firstling, she is very independent (i support independent person), spoiled (this one i can’t stand) and selfish (the worst). I don’t like when she keep complaining everything about everything. At first, about her status as a future queen. Then about Josie. About the boys. About the guard. Everything..
But, this line is good
“I was Eadlyn Schreave. No one was more powerful than me.”
💪💪💪 but please, dont keep complaining.
However, her brother is top. I love Kaden and Ahren. Although I really dont understand Ahren move at the end of this book. But Kaden is great. Just read the line below.
He rolled his eyes. “Don’t talk to me like that, Eadlyn. I’m fourteen, not four. I read all the papers, and I pay attention at the Reports. I speak more languages than you, and I’m learning all the things you have without anyone making me do it. Don’t act like you’re better than me. I’m a prince.”
I sighed. “Yes, but I will be queen,” I corrected, sipping my coffee. I really didn’t need this right now.
“And your name will be in a history book one day, and some bored ten year old will memorize it for a test and then forget all about you. YOu have a job, just like everybody in the world. Stop acting like it makes you more or less than anyone else.”
The boys – I only notice Kile. I love the cool, architect, anti-royal Kile. He is on top of my mind to be the first selected. There is some quite eligible too like Henri, Hale, Ean, but my most fave is Kile 😁 (Kile team)
Finally..
As I have said in first opening, this one really not my book. Doesn’t make me addicted and hurry to finish it. Also not intrigue me to re-read again.
