4 stars

I read Erika Johansen's Tearling series several years ago and loved it.  I considered re-reading it before this but decided against it to save time.  I really wish that I did.  I don't think it absolutely necessary to reread or even read the original series but I do think I forgot much of what happened and the characters which would have added even more to my enjoyment.  This world is violent and treacherous but beautifully described.  I love the characters and feel as if this novel added more depth to them.  I think that if you loved the original trilogy, than this is a must read.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
