This is the conclusion to the Queen of the Tearling series. I always have high expectations for series conclusions. Particularly for this one, there were so many questions and mysteries floating around in the first two installments, and so I was really expecting all of these to be answered. While this book delivered, there were still a couple of disappointments here and there. There was so much build up on the identity of Kelsea's father that I was really bummed out when I found out and HOW it was revealed. But all in all, I still liked how the story ended. I felt that there were signs pointing to that direction and so it wasn't a surprise really. Though I can feel how everyone wouldn't agree with me, this ending worked for me - it was unique (in a way) and a bit weird (in a way). My problem with the ending was that it was abrupt. There was a big build up and just suddenly, it ended right there. And let's not forget that disturbing scene towards the end. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

4.5 stars really. It did have a rather abrupt ending, and it’s not the one I would have chosen, but it was really great.
I just finished and I'm still processing it all. I'm not sure what I was expecting to happen, but I'm not completely sold on how it all went down. Maybe it's just that I wasn't ready for it to end. I'd give it five stars, but it got a little too dark for my liking and like I mentioned, I'm not sure I love the ending. Other than that, it was fantastic! What a great trilogy!
An unexpected but unforgettable ending to a wonderful series.
finishing this trilogy hasn’t left me any less conflicted about it. some wonderful characters & intriguing worldbuilding, but the conclusion doesn’t feel earned, and feels too simplified. [content warning for child abuse]
I love this series and after finishing this book, I want to start over and re-read them all again. This book had so much going on, at times I had trouble wrapping my head around all the storylines. But I love how the author brought it all together at the end, even though the end crushed me. I am seriously so depressed from just finishing this book, I definitely need a piece of fluff to read after this.
So I wasted no time in reading this final book in The Tearling Trilogy, I started The Fate of the Tearling within an hour of finishing Invasion of the Tearling. It continues immediately where the second book ended, and provides the reader plenty of answers.
Expect to learn the history of the first generation of those that settled the Tearling, how their search for a perfect life started to fall apart. As with the second book we are introduced to another strong female called Katy, daughter to one of the first people in 'The Crossing', and through her and Row Finn we discover how the second sapphire was created as well as divide within the community.
We find out more about The Orphan a man who supplied power to the Red Queen. There are revelations a plenty about many of the established characters along with some newer ones. We learn more about the power of the sapphires, who and why only the chosen can control them. There are so many answers revealed in this final book. Who the Fetch really is? Who is Queen Kelsea's father? What of the Mace's past, or the Red Queens? We travel into Mortmesne lands and learn more of the Cadre that borders the southern end of the Tearling.
Yet you will still find your favourite characters Father Tyler, Pen, Kelsea, General Hall, Aisa, the Queens Guard and the Caden!
I thought the ending to the book was very suited to the story, though I have to say it was not at all what I was expecting. I found it bitter sweet.
Any very enjoyable fantasy trilogy.
