I found the conclusion to this fantastic series to be okay. Honestly, I was hoping for a bit more. The book itself is already very short compared to its predecessors, and I'm always wary of short concluding novels. I love the Selection series a lot, it remains one of my favorite book series of all time, and I think that's because it's just so addictive. So while I was slightly disappointed by how this series wrapped up, I must say that The Crown didn't lack that captivating aspect.

However, I can't give The Crown the five stars I was hoping I could give it. I just feel like it didn't live up to the heart wrenching, plot twisting, mind blowing books I'm used to from Kiera Cass. Don't get me wrong, I liked it well enough, but I didn't love it. 

Plus I didn't like how this Selection wrapped up- but don't worry, I won't spoil that for you. Truthfully I could write an essay on my feelings on the end of this novel, but I'll stick to my typical, spoiler-free review. 

Anyway, I just wasn't as emotionally attached to the plot of this book as I'd hoped. 

So why did I give this four stars? Because I did still like it, I still found it captivating, and I still think it's a very unique, amazing book that's a part of an even more amazing series. 

So go read the Crown; you won't be too disappointed.
