“The Heir” is the last book pubished in the “Selection” series written by Kiera Cass, the last book in the series is planned to be published next year called  “The Crown”.
Eadlyn is going to inherit the kingdom her parents have work really hard to build. The castes were dissolved but they still matter to many people and there have been uprisings around the country. In order to mitigate this feeling the king came to the idea of making a new selection for princess Eadlyn. Beside her first opposition, she accepted with the condition that she would not have to marry anyone in the end if she does not fall in love. However, the selection will pull her out of her comfort zone more than she expected.
“The Heir” was a highly entertaining quick easy read. I think one of the best things is the depth of the main character, however I did find it quite repetitive and unnecessary. In my opinion the selection could have finished perfectly with “The One”. Nonetheless as I said about the previous one I really enjoyed the books and I think it was an original take on fairy tales as well as dystopia.

To sum up, “The Heir” was a good continuation to an entertaining and recommendable series. I will recommend you to continue these books but I like to think about this one  as a spin off of the series, since the selection until “The One” was a really good series which could have finished here.
