Our view
“The Heir” restarts “The Selection” a generation on, and whether it works depends on one’s patience with Princess Eadlyn. Some readers find her selfish and hard to like; a few take that as the point of a story about growing up, while others miss her mother’s tale. The suitors win more affection, and some finish the book in a single sitting.

About the book
Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won Prince Maxon's heart. Now the time has come for Princess Eadlyn to hold a Selection of her own. Eadlyn doesn't expect her Selection to be anything like her parents' fairy-tale love story.
