The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

Took me a while to get into this book because it started with a bunch of military stuff but it quickly caught and kept my attention. The Pre-Crossing stuff was very interesting and the ending flows into a third book well.

Devoured it. Got pretty grimdark...but let's pretend that means the happy ending will be earned, okay?

So much better than the first one! The story is developing and maturing, while the characters are becoming more complex and interesting. I can't wait to read the third one :-)

always hard to love a book when the main character is being a pansy but this book definitely made me want to go straight into the next one

I really enjoy watching these characters develop and meeting the new ones. Looking forward to the final book.

bookish_mrs_w's review against another edition

I loved Queen of the Tearling. It kept me turning the page looking for answers. While reading Invasion of the Tearling I found myself so frustrated with Kelsea's development and while I was still looking for answers, I gave up and DNF'd this one. I just couldn't take Kelsea anymore. I ended up googling book summaries for The Invasion and the Fate of Tearling to find out how it ended. I'm happy I didn't finish, as it sounds like it only would've angered me the way the Divergent Series angered me with its ending (which, by the way, I ended up DNFing at the beginning of the third book and googling the book summary to find out the ending was lame.)
