A Window Book The Heir

Thank you to Unsplash for this photo.

I have recently started reading The Heir by Kiera Cass. I chose this book because I was looking for a book to read. I had recently finished The Stuart Gibbs Spy School Series. I was looking for a new series to get hooked on. One day one of my friends came up to me and asked, “Have you read the Selection Series? It’s sooo good.” Then I decided to read this series. I have read the first three books of this series and I am now reading the fourth book, The Heir. I completely recommend the Selection Series. It’s where I found my favorite book.

This book in my life is a window. Now I guess you’re probably thinking about what is a window and what is a mirror? A window is like a story in which you can not find any key ways the characters are similar to you or the events that have happened to you. These books are usually fantasy or nonfiction though they can also be realistic fiction. A mirror is pretty much the opposite; it’s something you can relate to or have connections with in some way.

I think this book is a window. It is a window because the main character in this story is the crown princess. Eadlyn has to figure out how to rule with the crown and figure out who she wants to rule beside her. Also she lives in a time where there used to be castes two years before she was alive. Castes are a way of pretty much measuring people on how rich or poor their family’s are. Ones like Eadlyn being the best and Seven’s like other people in this series are the most poor. She is figuring out how to completely dissolve the castes before brutal things happen. In my life I am not an heir to the throne. I do not have a waiter and a servant. I love this because I get to see what it’s like to be ruling a country and see different people’s views on the world. Also this book takes place in a time after the third World War so I get to see the future. I really hope some of you will consider reading this series.
