The Fate of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
4.0
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.
