Review
In my case, that was not true. I found her very likable. It's accurate that there were a few occasions when I found her unfair and snobbish, but she's got good qualities that surely surpass that. A very strong character, indeed.
The fact that she, followed by a Big Brother camera, has to worry about all that nobility protocol is enough to bring up our compassion.
And she keeps up to all her tasks and responsibilities, criticism and insult don't break her. Upon all, she still has time and guts to help run the country. Eadlyn is a character we can easily admire.
This novel was a great read. I enjoyed meeting characters from the previous books.
