mcait9 's review for:

The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
5.0

I read this a few years ago when I was in high school, but I must not have been paying enough attention because this time I felt like I was reading so many details that I had missed the first time around. Johansen does such a good job of building not just the world of the Tearling, but its politics and its people. Kelsea is such a well-developed character. I flew through this book and can't wait to do the same with the next.
