I also love the companion stories that Kiera has written, which retell certain scenes from the main books from another character’s perspective, adding a few twists. The books are relatively lighthearted, although they do sometimes deal with somewhat graver topics, such as hunger and an extremely prejudiced caste system. I love how all the books are in first-person point of view, which gives the reader an interesting perspective. One of my favorite things about these books are the tones. Kiera herself has described these books as a cross-over between a reluctant Cinderella and an Esther from the Bible retelling. However, through a process known as the Selection, where the sovereign picks his/her spouse from a pool of 35 suitors, both women are able to find love, albeit in unexpected places. Both of the main characters, America and her daughter Eadlyn are strong independent women who are at first unwilling to take a chance at love. You might think that these are just some boring, “girly-girl” princess stories, but this is not the case. I almost had a meltdown when the last book in the series, The Crown, came out earlier this month. Since then, I have avidly been awaiting the following books year after year, pouncing on them the minute they came out. This book was The Selection by Kiera Cass. Intrigued, I picked up the book, and I am happy to report that I did not put it down until the last sentence. Feel free to leave questions, and I’ll try to make this post as complete as possible.Years ago, I was browsing through my school library when I came across a gorgeous picture of a girl in a ballgown. So this isn’t the end of my books period… just the ones in Illéa. I have plans for other books (including the totally revamped version of The Siren that will be out in early 2016) and some other things I’m playing with. These will be ALL the works I make related to the Selection world. Lucy’s scene (bonus scene from The One).The Prince (with the two bonus chapters), Maxon’s novella.The contents of Happily Ever After are as follows: There will also be a companion to the Selection Series entitled Happily Ever After which will be out October 2015. The first three are from America’s perspective, and the final two are from her daughter, Eadlyn’s. There will be, in total, five full-length novels in the Selection world: I try to keep people updated as best I can, so I’m making this post for reference. There’ve been some misunderstandings about exactly how many books will be in the series, when they’re out, and what they even are.
