larawalden 's review for:
The Fate of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
The last few chapters is where this book really fell apart for me.
I'm not even sure how to explain this, it got so freaking convoluted at the end. The closet Kelsea got to the conclusion of the Katie story, the more the plot fell apart for me. First, I couldn't remember all of the characters and the plot lines (who was Yusuf? probably didn't matter anyway), so for a good chunk of pages I was slightly confused. Next, what was with that whatever it was (Row?) emerging from Katie's mouth? And then, everything was magically fixed and we're suddenly in another version of reality where EVERYTHING WE'VE READ THUS FAR GOT ERASED? WTF? And the ending was just... a whimper.
Johansen built a great world with great characters, and I swear the last hundred pages read like she handed the series off to someone else. Or she couldn't figure out how to wrap things up and used the "and then I woke up" trope.
