The Crown
For one of my summer reading choice books I read The Crown by Kiera Cass. This is the sixth book in The Selection series. The main idea of The Crown is a young woman named Eadlyn who wants anything but marriage. The problem is that she needs a husband before she becomes queen of Illeá. To find a husband, she has a Selection. As I was reading, I saw Eadlyn becoming less independent each chapter. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because she is realizing she can't do everything on her own, especially rule a country.
Eadlyn used to be very put together and had a barrier around herself and her feelings. Now she has started to open up to people around her, like the candidates for the Selection. As she does this, she makes some life long friends and an unexpected love. The bad thing is that she might be taken advantage of. I think Eadlyn is doing the right thing by opening up to people because she will have to do this for the whole country when she becomes queen. I also think that if she opens up she will find a person that loves her for who she is and not for the crown.

I like how you described the summary of "The Crown" in a way that doesn't spoil anything, but makes you curious about what happens. Also, I like how you share a main point of the story and give your thoughts on it as well.
ReplyDeleteI like how you entice the reader by not letting us know about certain things in the story. I also like how you shared your thinking. You did such a great job of describing the book that I began reading the Selection series because of your review.
