unicorn23 's review for:

The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
4.0

Kelsea reminds me so much of Lexa and Clarke from The 100, meaning that she shares the same traits and back story from both characters. Definitely a plus. Her killing Dhurn was very reminiscent of Clarke mercy-killing Atom and Finn; it also reminded me of Lexa killing Gustus for betraying her. Wow.

I liked that the book did not have any hints about a romantic story line and I hope the second and third books follow suit. It broke my heart when it was revealed that Barty and Carlin committed suicide in order to protect Kelsea.
