The Crown (The Selection #5) by Kiera Cass 4/5 stars

Hey, guys! I finally got around to reading The Crown by Kiera Cass. It finishes the storyline of Eadlyn's selection process.

Previous Books in The Selection series:
The Selection (#1)
The Elites (#2)
The One (#3)
The Heir (#4)

The Cover:
The Cover:
It shows Eadlyn in a fancy dress in a hall of mirrors. It fits the theme of these books' covers, but, while pretty, is still a bit boring. B- cover.

Official Description:
When Eadlyn became the first princess of IllĂ©a to hold her own Selection, she didn’t think she would fall in love with any of her thirty-five suitors. She spent the first few weeks of the competition counting down the days until she could send them all home. But as events at the palace force Eadlyn even further into the spotlight, she realizes that she might not be content remaining alone.
Eadlyn still isn’t sure she’ll find the fairytale ending her parents did twenty years ago. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you…and soon Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more impossible—and more important—than she ever imagined.


My Review:
The Crown was very similar to the other books in this series. If you liked those, you will like The Crown. I swear these books are like reality TV, its a bit trashy, but you gobble it up.

In this particular book, I was disappointed to find it predictable. From her choice of husband to some of the major conflicts, it was predictable. There were a few big twists that I wasn't expecting, but the majority of the book was expected.

The characters were interesting and unique for the selected and Eadlyn. However, Eadlyn's siblings were not unique and indistinguishable.

Overall, I would recommend reading The Crown if you've liked the earlier books in the series. It's very similar and has a nice conclusion.
