the betrothed kiera cass series in order

What makes me most incredulous about her character is that she is realizing the pitfalls and downsides of royal life only now, when she is possibly weeks away from being betrothed to the king – and this is really hard to believe considering it is mentioned that she grew up at court. Hollis is mostly just boring, but she does have things she enjoys and is passionate about. So I was a little uncertain about this, since The Selection (which in my mind is only the first three books – let’s not talk about the other two) is a series I go back to reread even today. If I hadn’t read The Selection, I might have enjoyed this more – but not by much. Often, when I love a book or series and then read a new book by the same author, it doesn’t measure up.
