Book Review: Happily Ever After (The Selection Companion)

This was a nice addition to a wonderful series.


*There will be some spoilers for the series in this review*

Happily Ever After contains the short stories Kiera Cass wrote about her characters.

It starts with Queen Amberly’s story. This is one of my favorites. I loved to see how she ended up with the King and why the King was how he was in The Selection novels. I liked reading how she was and why she loved Clarkson like she did and how the King knew what he wanted her for and he did it until the end of his days.

The last story is the Epilogue to The Selection. It sets up The Heir perfectly and it’s such a happy epilogue it was great to end up the entire series with it. Also, aren’t you always curious to know what happens after the happily ever after? This story sums it up wonderfully.

The rest of the stories are based on the points of view of the characters surrounding America during The Selection series.

We get an inside into Maxon’s point of view when he meets America, we learn how Aspen began to fall in love with Lucy while still in love with America, what Marlee was feeling and thinking after having been found with Carter, her caning and the aftermath and finally, a few insights into Celeste’s mind right before she turns a new leaf.

It doesn’t end there, Cass also gives us a look at what happened with some of the other Selected after the happily ever after ending, which was nice.

If you haven’t read The Selection Series, what are you waiting for? And if you have, I do recommend this collection of short stories.
