The Fate of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

5.0

Fantastic finale to the series. Made me think a lot about the idea of tolerance and building a functioning society. I really appreciated the ending where it becomes apparent that even a utopian society needs to be intolerant of intolerance; basically a society has to defend itself against those who only adopt the conventions of the society when it is convenient for them (tolerance for me, but not for you). Very pertinent these days.

I also loved the ambiguity of the "happy" ending.

It is really worth saving the world when no one knows that you did it?
