mrose21 's review for:
The Queen of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
I am so unsure about how to rate this.
I do not do game of thrones, it doesn't appeal to me and never will do. So I made a slight mistake in buying this book I feel, I bought it on some booktuber's recommendation as they love this book and to be honest I don't love it. Am I sad I bought it? Not really. Its a good book just too much violence, hatred and dystopia in it for me to be really on board with it all.
This being said, there is some laughs hidden in this book. It is very well written and I felt completely into the world as if I was living it today. Did it leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling? Not really and that is sometimes why I struggle with adult fantasy as they can be pretty dark and twisted and I'm still the I need some romance and laughter stage of life...
I love the characters in this book, especially Mace and the Queen. Both characters are well written and the character progression of the Queen is so well done. She goes from almost scared girl to ok still slightly scared but brave. She is brave, stubborn, strong and smart in her actions and you sort of admire her for that. I love Mace because he is so protective and strong in his actions for knowing what is best for her before she does. I do hope there isn't a love interest between them because I like how they match each other and she doesn't need a man like him for a husband, she doesn't need a husband at all. Still I hope there isn't a potential love thing going on there.
