I almost didn't make it through this. I kept thinking that if I just continue a little longer things would become clear. They didn't. Too many situations and circumstances didn't make sense and were just plain stupid. I'm rather aggravated that I wasted my time taking this to the end so I'm not ...
This book had a lot of hype. I saw it referenced as a female game of thrones and it's being turned into a movie starring Emma Watson. I think Emma Watson will do fine in the role. Female game of thrones, it is not. Here's the thing with me. I love ASOIAF. They are fantastic books with a great TV ...
I really loved this book. It was a great start to high fantsey series. The only reason I gave it four stars was the world building. It was a little week and not as developed at points but overall I really loved it. I was really confused when the world was actually occurred but by the end i figured i...
Game-Of-Thronesesque with a slightly feminist agenda, this debut novel set in a post-apocalyptic society where only faint remnants of technology exist and magic is the most significant force, generates tremendous pace in its opening chapters and had me thoroughly gripped. The story focuses on Kelsea...
The Queen of the Tearling has all of the elements that have made such dystopian/fantasy novels so popular with the young adult crowd. Yet, this story is definitely for adults. There is explicitness to the Tearling and to Mortmesne that one does not see in young adult novels. In her fight to be queen...

Marked for death, she returns to the kingdom once she turns nineteen and now either she will be dead or live to be the fiercest queen of the Tearling. Accompanied by Lazarus, she ...
I got another free egalley from Edelweiss because a coworker said I HAD to read The Queen of the Tearling and, though it’s pushed my TBR pile back even further, I’m glad I did. It was an interesting novel. It kind of reminded me of Sheri S. Tepper in theme, if not in style. So, setting the stage...
One star for the actual book, and one for the potential in it (I'm being generous here).The signs are all in place for The Queen of the Tearling to be one of the best books of the year, if not this century. An epic fantasy emphasising realistic female characters; a huge film adaptation with a huge s...
Before I type anything else, let me first say that I'm stunned at the sheer amount of hype that this book is receiving right now. I'm always wary when something is hyped up too much. Always wondering as to why the PR department wants me to "LOVE THIS!" before I've even set my hands upon it. If a boo...
