Another one for the 12 Tasks! This one was my dreidel pick (thank you mom for the dreidel) and thank you dreidel for getting this one off my tbr! Princess Kelsea has been in hiding from soon after her birth. Upon her nineteenth birthday, she will take her place as Queen of the Tearling. Kelsea’...
The Queen of the Tearling teeters on the edge of awesome, but spends too much time on the side of annoying to really become what I hoped it would be. I was intrigued by the story. This world of queens, castles, and magic is inhabited by people whose ancient ancestors left America and England by ...
