Beneath the Keep: A Novel of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

5.0

Another beautiful Tearling book

I picked up this series years ago expecting a fun escape. I got that plus a fantastic meditation on a just society. I happen to share Johansson’s political bent, and find the Tearling books to be both challenging and comforting in all the best ways.
. Too often prequels seem superfluous, but this one is as strong and enjoyable as the main series. Bravo.
