The Fate of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

The Fate of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling, #3)

by Erika Johansen

In less than a year, Kelsea Glynn has transformed from a gawky teenager into a powerful monarch.

As she has come into her own as the Queen of the Tearling, the headstrong, visionary leader has also transformed her realm. In her quest to end corruption and restore justice, she has made many enemies - including the evil Red Queen, her fiercest rival, who has set her armies against the Tear.

To protect her people from a devastating invasion, Kelsea did the unthinkable - she surrendered herself and her magical sapphires to her enemy, and named the Mace, the trusted head of her personal guards, Regent in her place. But the Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign from her prison in Mortmesne.

Now the endgame begins and the fate of Queen Kelsea - and the Tearling itself - will finally be revealed . . .

The Fate of the Tearling is a strong ending to this trilogy. Questions are answered, which is a big thing. And the ending, in my opinion, isn't quite happy. The Tearling trilogy has been a breath of fresh air in the genre, breaking many popular cliches and remaining very successful. I'm sad that my time with Kelsea has ended, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
