Independence is a huge aspect of it, and you really get to see both how tough and vulnerable Eadlyn is. If I were in her shoes and had that much courage, I probably would do the same thing.
Eadlyn, however bratty or spoiled people will say she is, is actually very true to herself and her upbringing. But by the end of the book, the romance aspect is much better, exactly what I was expecting from Kiera Cass.Īll in all, I enjoyed the book.
More like the completely opposite.if that doesn't make sense, then you'll probably have to read to book to get what I mean. Not ambitious in the sense she was dead set on finding true love. The romance aspect was a little frustrating at first, because Eadlyn's attitude towards it was completely.hmm, what's the word.ambitious? She's a plotter, that's for sure. But it was nice to see multiple personalities, even if they can't be that well developed. Sound familiar?

She makes a few drastic calls, and though she sometimes doesn't immediately see what she did wrong, she does eventually learn from them.
Yes, Eadlyn is going through with a Selection, but right from the start we find out that she's perfectly capable (and a little too willing) to rule Illéa by herself. Her struggle with trying to be independent really got to me, and I admire how she strives to not fail. Her character is really realistic to her upbringing, and I really liked it.Įadlyn is stubborn, determined, strong, and a bit scary. She's the daughter of America and Maxon, so of course she's going to be spoiled by them. One of my first thoughts about her was that she was a little bit on the high-and-mighty-and-I-know-it side, but when you think about how she's been raised, knowing that she'll be queen one day, it's not that big of a surprise.
