crimsonprose 's review for:
The Fate of the Tearling
by Erika Johansen
Well that sure wasn't what I was expecting.
This trilogy wound its way through the genres of fantasy, dystopia, scifi, and more, and created a compelling epic story that didn't overwhelm. I enjoyed the world established in the first book, wasn't so sure about the second book, and was conflicted and gratified even further in the third book. Johansen's characters are flawed and relatable, and her story is well constructed and executed. This is a hard one to review without spoiling, and I think it could easily be a controversial ending, but I for one feel satisfied with the final resolution.
