The Invasion of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
Just awful. Abrupt transitions, horribly incompetent protagonist (there's a difference between a character balanced by her flaws and a character who's glorified for her ridiculousness), multiple odd deux ex machina moments with no lead-in, one-dimensional side characters (Brother Tyler being the only exception), not to mention the arduous buildup to the sad and floppy "ultimate showdown." This novel is saved only by its Old World arc which, although it didn't have the most original of plots, was actually delivered quite well.
