As the fifth Selection in the history of Illea begins, princess Eadlyn had her ups and downs. On the up side, she always has her family to help her through rough times. On the down side, Eadlyn has already eliminated nearly half of the selected less than two weeks into the selection. One thing I like about this book is that Eadlyn finally realizes that the boy that always annoyed her when they both lived in the palace as children could be a suitable match for her when she really gets to know him. I like how the author shows the reader that all of the selected have unique personalities.
The author does a good job of showing how Eadlyn feels during the course of this Selection. Whenever she is angry or depressed, the reader feels that with Eadlyn through vivid imagery. If Eadlyn is happy, the author shows the reader how Eadlyn acts in response to her happiness and the extent of her happiness. I am unhappy in the lack of effort that Eadlyn is giving towards the Selection, because she isn't even sure if she wants to get married, much less find her husband immediately. I think this problem will resolve itself because Eadlyn is beginning to open up to the selected and she might find love amongst them.
