This feels like a debut author novel. There are many pages of long blocks of text. One fact is established as certain— this is a utopia gone wrong. What I liked best about the main character, Kelsea, is her appreciation for books. She offers some diversity in that she is plain looking and overweight...
Hmm, this was an interesting one. It had all the elements I like: Good female characters. Magic, some political intrigue and was fully readable. The story line was good and I liked the world created overall....but...it did not fully click with me: Kelsea. I hate saying this because it sometimes...
You can find this, and other reviews, on my blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m not big on spoilers, but I do think two things need to be clarified before going any further. The first is the intended audience. This book is marketed as YA, and it is YA, but it i...
THE QUEEN OF THE TEARLING, BY ERIKA JOHANSEN (Book 1 of The Queen of the Tearling)As I understand it, this is a debut novel. I bought it because of the cover: it's pretty and just pretentious enough to get me interested. I didn't read the blurb or any reviews of it before I read it, and I'm glad for...

From Chima's Seven Realms to Cashore's Graceling to the new Larson's Defy, mix them all up in that bowl, The Queen of The Tearling is what you'd get. It is all the best of fantasy in one book. I can't believe I sat on ...
The biggest question I asked myself after finishing this: Why on earth did it take me THIS long to read this? See I've been meaning to read this for ages and ages, but I kinda forgot about it. Then I got kinda sidetracked by the different reviews of my reading buddies. There are clearly two camps: t...
It's too long, for what is essentially an introduction to the story. It drags for the first 200 or so pages. There are stupid moments and plot holes aplenty. The whole idea of this medieval world actually taking place in the future just feels like an attempt at originality that doesn't work.Somehow ...
Between chapters one and two I read two or three other books, because I couldn't make myself go back to it.So I have to thank the amazing Aly∞, without whom I would NOT have made it past the first chapter, and this review would not exist! Kelsea Glynn is the rightful heir to the throne, but no one k...
