“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.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh.

As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
