xmenji 's review for:
The Queen of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
3.7?
This is a good book for fantasy readers who maybe wants something easy to read that isn’t so densely written and heavy in detail like LoTR or A Song of Ice &Fire.
I enjoyed reading this book although I do wish there were more magical elements to it besides just Kelsea’s necklace. I would have liked more backstory about the Crossing and more character development especially from Kelsea. I feel like the transition from her being a girl from a remote place to being a full fledged queen kind of happened too fast. I also think the red queen does not have much of a presence in the story even though she is presented as the main threat and as a result, is less menacing than intended to be. The book actually focuses more on Thorne instead.
Other than that, I recommend this book and am hoping to learn more about Mace’s character in the next one.
