darkestdreamer 's review for:
The Fate of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
After the end of the book I'm still left with a million questions. During the crossing, did William Tear open a portal to the past or the future? maybe a different world? Were the Cadarese and Mort originally native settlers? where did they come from? What time in earth's history are we? Someone help me understand, please.
A lot of reveals were given that helped absolutely nothing. The identity of Kelsea's father was useless and just sort of... there. With the mystery being inflated since book one, you'd expect something great but it was so boring. A bunch of other reveals that I didn't care about took place as well.
There were a bunch of deaths but they were quickly forgotten and you fail to care.
Kelsea as a character was still annoying. She has never made a smart decision in her life but the author wants you to think she's a strong queen able to walk on water. But she hasn't fought any tough battle. Everything has worked out for her either by the bad guy suddenly deciding they are not so evil anymore or her using some deus ex machina bullshit and getting off easy. She didn't outmanoeuvre or out wit anyone. She just ran away!
Ultimately, the ending felt..... unsatisfactory. And very lazy. Extremely lazy.
