Following on from "Queen of the Tearling", this second part of the trilogy hit me with quite a few surprises: Kelsea mind-travels back several generations to a pre-Crossing time and into the life of Lily and her encounter with William Tear, the "creator" of the Tearling. Meanwhile Mortmesne invades ...
Very much a bridging novel, Kelsea is finding out what it means to be queen and what powers she has, the Red Queen is coming to invade and religion is being corrupting and bad.
Queen Kelsea Glynn has now asserted herself as Queen of the Tearling. However, some of her first actions, which have gained her the respect of her people, have firmly upset the Queen of Mortmesne and have fueled an impending war with the much larger and well armored Mort army. As war approaches, ...
I liked this one better than the first, and I'm being pulled along by the story. But... There's just enough wrong here that I don't feel any urgency to advocate for this series. Everyone's a caricature. Odd and frequent use of the f-word. Lots of characters to keep track of. There is a strong ra...
Since this is a sequel this is going to have spoilers for book one, for which I have a review here. Also this book should have a trigger warning for rape, spousal abuse, and self harm. This book picks up right where the first book ended. The Mort Army is on it's way, Kelsey has to deal with t...
❝ Picture a world where there are no rich and poor. No luxury, but everyone is fed and clothed and cared for. God controls nothing. Books aren't forbidden. Women aren't the lower class. The color of your skin, the circumstances of your birth, these things don't matter. Kindness and humanity are ever...

The first book of the series, Queen of the Tearling, was so good from start to finish. It was one of my favorites of last year but it did leave me with some questions about the time period and the Crossing. Well this second book, starts out a little slower and I asked myself a couple times where is ...
There's a social commentary hidden somewhere in these pages. It must be there, for I conclude that subtext is why the book is so popular. Kelsea has become even vainer in this book than in the first. So much so that her magic has interpreted beauty to be the one true desire of her heart, thus makes ...
I could have easily read this book in one sitting. Such is life.....I didn't get to. However, in this last, very rough month, falling into The Tear and Queen Kelsea's story was a grand escape and adventure. Just when you think a series can't get any better, it does, it does, IT DOES!!! Finding out ...
