      Some of the stories really are interesting, even if there are quite a few that I hated. The scenes from Celeste's point of view were the most interesting parts of this book.
    • 4/5
      A nice follow up piece from the Selection Series. It was nice reading about the lives of other characters from the original Selection.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed these but they didn't draw me in like the book series.
    • 4/5
      3.75I am not normally a fan of novellas, but this one worked. I like some of the stories more than others. I do feel all of them were great additions to the story and for our characters. I liked seeing the in between story from the original series, and also where our characters are after the story. Overall, I really enjoyed this.
    • 4/5
      These are great extra scenes and snippets from the series, including several novellas offering close glimpses of multiple characters. Unlike many companion books, this one actually adds a great deal more to the reading experience of the series it's paired with, as well as a lot more information about the story and characters. So, it's definitely worth it.
    • 3/5
      I liked this collection of short stories, but I was kind of underwhelmed. There's a lot of repetition (i.e. a scene that we've already read in the series, but from a different character's perspective, so the dialogue is the same, though the thoughts are different.) It was interesting and gave some more insight into the characters, and I did really enjoy the illustrations, but I'm not as eager to own this one as I am the rest of the series.Unfortunately, I can't rate each individual story because it's been too long since I read it, but I remember that I preferred the stories about the more minor characters to the stories about Maxon and Aspen (because of the aforementioned repetition). I liked learning more about Amberly, Celeste, and America's maids.[SERIES SPOILER]On the other hand, I want to know more about Clarkson after reading Amberly's story. He was decent and relatively charming in "Happily Ever After". It's so hard to imagine him turning into the man in "The Selection", who cheats on his wife and beats his son.
    • 4/5
      Ah, my guilty pleasure series. In this collection of novellas and short stories we get to explore America's present and future from the perspective of friends, enemies, and loved ones. I think the two parts dedicated to Celeste were my favorite. I wish we'd gotten to see this level of dimension to her in the series-proper.
    • 4/5
      You will read a series of short stories about different characters from The Selection series.If you read The Selection series, you’ll enjoy this as well. I wasn’t sure I was interested and then decided to listen to it. There are several stories all told from different characters. The first is Maxim’s mother--what her selection was like. We always wondered how his mother could be so nice while his father was such a violent and difficult person, so this story makes them more realistic. Another story deals with Maxim and how his life changed when the Selection began. There’s a short story with Aspen’s point of view as well as one with Lucy’s point of view. Celeste also has her own short story. Marlee’s story is included as well. The last story is Maxim and America after they’ve been married for a couple of years. I didn’t give the stories in order except for the first one. I honestly didn’t think I’d be interested, but it really was intriguing to see the overall story from another character’s point of view. I did find several endings abrupt. The stories focus on characters with America, not the new ones with America’s daughter. I read this book last of all the series, so I had a hard time remembering events from the first book, so I recommend reading this after The One.
    • 4/5
      I actually really enjoyed this book and feel like it added quite a lot to the series. It's so refreshing to read things from other PoVs and seeing them in a different light. All the novellas were entertaining and well written. I would recommend this book to fans of the series. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
    • 3/5
      I finished the complete series and overall it was a lot of fun. The first three books were the best. The rest were fun, but not as good. Happily Ever After, is a companion collection of novellas, and it felt pretty unnecessary. Most of the characters were one dimensional and it just retold scenes from earlier books from a new point of view. The Favorite was the one stand out. An entertaining series similar to The Hunger Games and The Chemical Garden Trilogy, that was very quick to read.
    • 4/5
      If you enjoyed The Selection then this is a great compilation of different points of views on what happened.
    • 2/5
      Some of the stories really are interesting, even if there are quite a few that I hated. The scenes from Celeste's point of view were the most interesting parts of this book.
    • 4/5
      I'm not particularly fond of reading companion books written from different pov's. For one thing I think it's an unnecessary fill-in until the next book comes out. However, Kiera Cass did a wonderful job in Happily Ever After by compiling novellas from the pov's of Queen Amberly, Prince Maxon, Aspen, Marlee, Celeste and Lucy. We also find out what happened two years after Maxon's wedding to The One as well as updates on some of the girls who were eliminated from the Selection. The illustrations are pretty too, and that cover - wow! Kiera Cass' books has the most beautiful covers I've ever seen.In The Queen we learn that Queen Amberly used to be a four and has been in love with King Clarkson since she was young. Details about King Clarkson's parents are revealed, shedding light on why the King is the way he is, especially towards Prince Maxon.In The Prince we find out how the girls were chosen for The Selection and see the whole process unfold through the eyes of Prince Maxon. It's interesting to read what he thought of America, the other girls and his views about certain things that transpired in the first three books of this series.I'm actually a Prince Maxon fan, but after reading The Guard I began liking Aspen too. We learn how much he loves America and the things he did to prove his love for her and fight for what they once had. I selfishly wanted him to be in love with America forever, but I'm glad he also found his happily ever after.Marlee and Carter's love story is revealed in The Favorite - how they met, how their feelings grew and the risks they were willing to take to be together. We also find out exactly what Prince Maxon did to help them, which will make the Prince's fans love him even more.Those who disliked Celeste in the story will understand her better, and perhaps even feel sorry for her, after reading her novella.Lucy, one of America's maids, also has a novella. This is my least favorite as she came off bitter and harsher than she was originally portrayed in the series.We also find out what happened to Prince Maxon and his chosen wife two years after they were married. It's nice to read how head over heels in love they are as well as some of the changes that has happened to their kingdom after the attacks. It's also interesting to know what happened to some of the ladies who weren't chosen by Prince Maxon.To wrap up, Happily Ever After makes for a good companion as you excitedly wait for the final book in the Selection series to come out. The Crown hits stores on May 3.

      I bought this book in my latest trip home and I'm happy to see that some of the books I bought made their way here to Kuwait so other readers can enjoy them as well.

      The art in the novel reminds me a bit of The Time-Traveling Fashionista series by Bianca Turetsky (one of my favorite) but I wished they were colored.

      "The Queen" happened to be my favorite of the short stories, I enjoyed "After The One" as well, all the stories were nice and I preordered my copy of The Siren!
