A review by trixabelle
The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

4.0

I'm loving this trilogy and now cannot wait for the final book to be released in December! Although not a huge amount of time has passed the main character Kelsea has matured rapidly through the pressures she has been placed under. There was an interesting twist to the history of the Tearling and the Queen's ancestry that I hadn't expected - this was a pleasant surprise :) I really like the way this book handles issues that are very relevant in today's world/society without over simplifying them or even shying away from them. It feels much more of a Young Adult novel than Teenage Fiction without being a serious Adult novel which makes a nice change. Yay for the strong female characters!!
