The Heir by Kiera Cass
Hi I’m Reese and I’m in 7th grade. I like hanging out with my friends, going skiing, and playing softball.
The Heir by Kiera Cass is not only the fourth book in the beloved Selection series but is also a fan favorite from the series. Personally, I thought that this was one of the best books from this series and I especially enjoyed reading this book in particular.
This book starts off in the same place, the palace of Illea, but it’s 18 years later and the time is approaching for the young princess to find a suitor. Princess Eadlyn has never seen herself ruling the country with someone by her side. So, when her father, King Maxon, has the bright idea to hold a Selection, she isn’t thrilled. Eadlyn makes a deal with her father that if she isn’t in love in three months the whole thing can be called off and she may go on to rule the country alone. Her plan is to not fall in love. She thinks that there is no way she could ever love any of the possible suitors, but she finds herself more interested in some of them than others. She feels a connection with a childhood friend, Kile, who lives in the palace with her.
The book ends with a cliffhanger before jumping into the next book. You’re left wondering if Eadlyn is still going through with her plan, or if she is truly falling in love with one of the Selected.
