The two sequels, The Heir and The Crown are written from the point of view of Princess Eadlyn, the firstborn daughter of Prince Maxon and Lady America Singer. Reception The A.V.

On 24 October 2015, The Guardian added, "The story is also excellent for gripping people who don't generally enjoy reading". The Siren Cass is also the author of The Siren. This book is about Kahlen, a girl who lost her family when the cruise ship they were on overturned. Then she was chosen to become a siren and needs to serve the Ocean for a hundred years. Her voice is deadly for humans. One day she meets Akinli, the boy of her dreams, and wants to be with him but she can't.

On January 26, 2016, it was released by HarperCollins after Cass rewrote it into an updated version. Controversy On 12 January 2012 a one-star review of Cass' book, The Selection, was posted on the book reviewing site Goodreads, and on the reviewer's blog. Later on the same day, Kiera Cass' literary agent, Elana Roth, posted a series of derogatory tweets on the social networking site Twitter. In a conversation that Cass and Roth believed was private—but was, in fact, public—Roth called the reviewer names and both Roth and Cass discussed how best to bump the negative review down and boost positive reviews by manipulating the ranking system themselves. The controversy sparked an article by Publishers Weekly speaking out against this practice and raised an outcry from multiple reviewers, bloggers, and publications against the cyber-bullying of non-professional reviewers by authors and agents.
