The Heir, the Crown, and Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass



The Heir and The Crown are the last two books in the YA Selection series by Kiera Cass. Twenty years after the events of The One, The Heir and The Crown follow the story of King Maxon and Queen America's daughter, Eadlyn. Born seven minutes before her twin brother, Eadlyn is the official heir to the throne. When it seems as though the country is in a state of unrest, Eadlyn's parents encourage her to do the unthinkable: host a Selection to find a husband. Agreeing, just to appease her parents and her country, Eadlyn thinks there's no way she'll find true love.

Happily Ever After is a collection of YA companion stories to the first three Selection books.

Sex: There are no sex scenes. There are a few kissing scenes, and a character comes out as gay, but there is nothing graphic.

Language: None.

Drug/Alcohol Use: Mild wine drinking.

Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: A few references to deaths that occurred in earlier books.

Final Note: It was nice to see America and Maxon's story continued through the eyes of their daughter, but these last two books weren't as enjoyable as the first three in the series. The stories in Happily Ever After helped provide more development for supporting characters in the first three books. Overall, these were enjoyable reads.

What is The Rapid Reader?

Hello fellow parents and friends! My name is Danielle. I had the idea for this blog a couple of years ago when I was working in my son's school library. It was a known fact that I was an avid reader of middle school and young adult literature and several parents would ask me about books before checking them out for their kids. (Or buying them at the book fair!) Because I read so much, I've never worried too much about what my kids might be reading. My oldest is only eight years old and anything he's read, I've read already! But what about parents who don't necessarily enjoy reading or have the time? I wanted to offer a resource that gave these parents the chance to make educated decisions about books their kids are reading. That's how this blog was born! Before we go any further, I want to point out that I am strongly opposed to book banning. I believe in freedom of speech and expression of art through literature. But I also feel strongly that kids should ...
