The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

3.0

The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling #1) by Erika Johansen is a trilogy opener that I think I would have preferred if is read it closer to when it was a new release. Now, though, I wasn't very impressed. It is tempting and promising, but it's way too long and I never really cared much for any of the characters. The idea of it being the future of Britain and the U.S. rather than a fantasy story, but for that to really work for me I would have liked to have know more about the what, where, and why we ever got about the situation leading to this kingdom. Also, this was way too long of a for me. Overall, it has some interesting idea, but it never quite worked as well as I'd hoped it would.
