35 suitors entered the Selection. Only 1 will win her heart. The fifth and final captivating novel in Kiera Cass's #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series!

In The Heir, a new era dawned in the world of The Selection. Twenty years have passed since America Singer and Prince Maxon fell in love, and their daughter is the first princess to hold a Selection of her own.

Sadly I'm feeling kind of bleh about this book. It just didn't excite me like any of the others did. Plus I felt really disconnected from all the characters. Perhaps that's my fault for not re-reading The Heir before starting this book.. But every character just felt hollow.

I felt like her 'love' for Eikko just came out of nowhere. There was zero chemistry there. It was just, "OMG I love this guy that I've spoken to one time! I just realized!!!" Wat.

I wasn't crazy about any of the guys, but I Eikko was just a big empty page for me.

Based on my thoughts, 3 stars might sound generous. And maybe it is. But despite my lack of love for this book, I still kind of enjoyed reading it so there you go.
