#KEadlyn All the Way

SPOILERS AHEAD

First of all, my KEadlyn heart is still grieving and writing in a blog is my therapy. So if you are part of the EadRik fandom, you better not read. I've already poured out my feelings on my tumblr so I don't expect this one to be long.

Maybe it's not the first kisses that are supposed to be special. 

Maybe it's the last ones. - Kile Woodwork

I knew even from the 4th book that there is a chance that Erik would end up with Eadlyn. Kile was just too obvious to be a choice. Both The Heir and The Crown had been hinting a lot that Eadlyn is getting fond of Erik, although I was doubtful it was enough for her to fall in love but I was pretty sure there was more to it. If I am to describe how I felt about the relationship building in the last two books, it was like KEadlyn was upfront and visible while EadRik was hiding in a corner waiting for the right moment. My problem is, it felt like EadRik moments weren't enough to convince me that they are really falling in love. Enough to be best friends but not as lovers. Oh well, I am probably sounding bitter, which I really am, so I'll just stop it here.

Finding a prince might mean kissing a lot of frogs. 

Or kicking a lot of frogs out of your house.

I am really heartbroken with the ending. This is the second time that I got so excited before reading a book but got disappointed in the end (the first one was Ignite Me.) The difference is that, the love twist in Ignite Me was unfair with Adam. Thank the heavens The Crown did nothing to taint Kile's perfectness.

 Falling might mean running headfirst into something you always wanted. 

Or dipping your toe into something you've been scared of your whole life.

Despite the end, I still could not hate The Selection. How could I hate the series that gave me MAxerica? Oh well, at least Kiera Cass did not kill America.

So this it! Finally, this time, it's really over. Goodbye Illea! MAxerica and KEadlyn all the way.

Happily ever after could be waiting in a field a mile wide. 

Or a window as narrow as seven minutes.

- Kiera Cass, The Crown
