The Fate of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
(4.29 on CAWPILE)
I have been really enjoying my time reading this series. It was never going to be a new favourite but it certainly had the potential to stick the landing. As you can see from my rating... it did not.
This book instead of answering all the questions we've been accumulating throughout the series, it chose to add more into the mix. This book got very convoluted and it was just trying to do too many things. It had too many loose ends and by the conclusion of the series it coped out of answering any.
The characters, as the story got more complex began to lose any realism. With their actions clearly being driven by where the author wanted the plot to go instead of what seemed organic for what we know of them.
This book actually managed to keep consistency with the writing and pacing, making me still be invested and compelled to read until the last 20% when I wanted to yeet it out of a window.
Sadly the wonderful world building we had seen were a) all for naught, and b) thrown out of the window when things began to get more convoluted. The magic was entirely there for plot convenience at this point as well.
Overall, I'm really disappointed in this series. I may as well have not read the first two books.
