jeannelynne24 's review for:

The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
4.5
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Apparently I had read this before and just never logged it.  lol. But it was long enough ago that it was still an enjoyable/fresh reread.  ;)

I love how Lily's story is interwoven with Kelsea's - tho I will say the brutality Lily suffered at Greg's hands was a little too believable.  Definitely could see those passages being triggering for folks.

I really enjoy these characters and thought they all felt really real.  I have so many questions about what comes next and hope book 3 gives us all the answers to the mysteries of the Tear.
