emilybryk 's review for:
The Queen of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
My (new) official stance: If a book is slated to have sequels or to be part of a trilogy or somesuch crap, I'm skipping it. I'm sick sick sick of finishing a book (fantasy, you're the worst offender though not the only one) only to find that the past two, three, four hundred pages have been setting me up to buy the next book. It feels, frankly, disrespectful to the reader and I'm done with it -- if I wanted an advertisement, I know where to find those.
Now. This particular book. I can't speak about the plot since, like I just said, virtually nothing gets resolved. The premise (White Ship, collapse of humanity into medieval style) is neat and tidily handled. I like the idea of what this book could be. I just don't like what it is.
