The Invasion of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
This was a fantastic follow up to the first book. While Queen of the Tearling was pretty squarely fantasy with hints of a larger reveal about the world to come, this second book takes a solid turn into the realm of science fantasy.
The book focuses more on the changes Kelsea is undergoing and her struggle to maintain her compassion in the face of her developing power. Even as she learns more about the price of such strength, she yearns to exercise it.
The dual storylines flesh out one of the mysteries of the first book, giving more insight about The Crossing and the people who tried to bring their vision of a better world to fruition. Kelsea's seemingly insurmountable problem is how to bring that vision back to life in her own Kingdom.
This book is joining the first one on my favourites 2017 shelf.
