This is a review of The Crown by Kiera Cass. I reviewed the
book The Heir by Kiera Cass several months ago and it does need to be read
before this one so you can understand what is going on. The Crown is the conclusion
to the Heir. Since it has been so long since I read The Heir I decided to re-read
it first to refresh my memory.
We pick up in this book right where the previous book left
off. Eadlyn’s mother has just had a heart attack and Eadlyn steps in as regent
to rule for her father so he can stay with her mother. Eadlyn decides to do a
mass elimination of the men in her Selection and she sends them all home except
for 6 of them. She has some feelings for all of the ones that stay and she is
torn because she doesn’t know who to choose. She spends more time with each of
the men and slowly starts realizing who she is really in love with.
One of the men comes to her and tells her he
and another candidate want to leave the Selection because they are in love with
each other. Eadlyn just wants them to be happy so she agrees to let both of
them leave.
Eadlyn talks with her father and they decide that she should
take over as queen so her mother and father can rest, be less stressed, and
enjoy their life as a married couple. Preparations begin for her coronation as
queen. Hale, one of the men from the Selection is a tailor and he saves the day
when Eadlyn’s coronation gown busts a seam. Her coronation goes smoothly and it is at the
coronation where she truly realizes exactly who she is in love with. She is in love with Erik, who is not involved
in her Selection except to be Henri’s translator. She feels that she can’t have
the man that she is really in love with so she must make a choice between Henri
and Kile. I felt absolutely certain that she was going to select Kile for her
husband but she selects Henri instead. Henri is delighted to be engaged to
Eadlyn.
Before the official announcement of her engagement Eadlyn
talks with her father and he tells her to follow her heart and to marry who she
wants despite the rules of the Selection. Eadlyn is still prepared to marry
Henri but Henri realizes that she loves Erik more than she loves him so he
encourages her to marry Erik instead because he wants both of them to be happy.
Eadlyn publically announces the
engagement to Erik and she also makes another announcement that stuns everyone.
(You will have to read it for this announcement).
My recommendation: Read this one. You must read The Heir
first because you will not be able to follow the story if you don’t.
