The Heir
By Kiera Cass
Genre: Young Adult Dystopian
Personal Rating: 8/10

This is the fourth installment of the very popular Selection series. I didn't know Kiera Cass planned on continuing the story after the third book, so this was a very happy surprise for me. The Selection is basically a futuristic version of The Bachelor so The Heir is basically a futuristic version of The Bachelorette. This is the story of Princess Eadlyn, daughter of Prince Maxon and the winner of the last selection (disclosed for spoiler reasons.)

While I did really love this book, it was mostly just because I love this series and all the old characters. Some wonderful new characters where introduced in this story, and I can't wait to see where they go as the rest of the series unfolds, but there were just so many that I couldn't really care for all of them. And the main character bothered me to no end at the beginning of the book, though she definitely becomes for likable as it continues. I still thought this book was fun and entertaining, but I mostly just felt like it was a set up for he next book, especially considering how it ended. There wasn't any sort of big climax or dramatic scene. It was still fun, but I have a feeling that this was just meant to introduce us to the characters before the last book.
