Kelsea Glenn was pulled from the relative safety of her quiet country cottage to take over her destined role as Queen of the Tearling. Her land is one of suffering, slavery and strife. Her immediate decision both endear her to her people and create danger of invasion from the neighboring Mort people. With well developed side characters and enemies that have complicated back-stories, this series continues to enthrall. I have thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy/post-apocalyptical series from the very first. Queen Kelsea is a female protagonist who is strong, flawed, smart and fascinating. Each edition of this series has gotten more complex but has also stayed true to the world and plot. At times, the pace is slow but it all builds to a very satisfying conclusion and many times I had chills at the direction the books take. I eagerly look forward to see what Erika Johansen writes next and hope that more fantasy and post-apocalyptical books are in the future. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
