Fate of the Tearling
Fate of the Tearling | Erika Johansen
"Katniss Everdeen, you have competition."--Entertainment WeeklyThe thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Tearling trilogy.In less than a year, Kelsea Glynn has transformed from a gawky teenager into a powerful monarch. As she has come into her own as the Queen of the Tearling, the headstrong, visionary leader has also transformed her realm. In her quest to end corruption and restore justice, she has made many enemies--including the evil Red Queen, her fiercest rival, who has set her armies against the Tear.To protect her people from a devastating invasion, Kelsea did the unthinkable--she gave herself and her magical sapphires to her enemy--and named the Mace, the trusted head of her personal guards, regent in her place. But the Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned in Mortmesne.Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea--and the Tearling itself--will finally be revealed.

Mehso-so

After getting through 2.5 books, SO disappointed with this ending. Cheapened the relationships we made with the characters over the course of this series. Very sad :(

This was not what I expected for the ending. The ending left me all tangled up. Yet it was inevitable given the circumstances. Inevitable or not I was not a fan. The rest of the story was really good. Too bad the ending was lacking. 4.5 ⭐

NaomiO I got the first book years ago as a birthday gift and was so immersed in it and loved it more than I thought I would since fantasy isn‘t my favourite genre and I was about 100 page or so away from finishing it and I went away on a trip, that was 4 years ago. I will definitely need to re read it from the start now. 3y
TheSpineView @NaomiO I enjoyed this series. Too bad the ending was lacking. Hope you have time to finish soon. 3y

This book needed a lot of work, there where many random plot points, a lot of things where not ever explained and a lot of stuff should have been more explored. I did not hate the ending, but it was kind of random. I think the author took that old advice to just write anything to keep the story flowing a bit too far. Review continued in comments, spoilers! Overall, 2/5 stars, read if you want to finish the series, but be prepared for randomness.

iread2much Ok, so I have to say VAMPIRE children? seriously? And it just use them as a freaking distraction? There was NO point in having that so called “army”, it literally did nothing for the plot and I have no idea why it got by the editor. 4y
iread2much Also, I‘m a Trekkie, I love time stuff, and I loved the use of time in a lot of the book, but the author does NOT ever explain why THAT particular woman was able to make such a HUGE change in the time line. What was so special about Katie that she made such a huge difference? That is NOT well explained 4y

Everyone seems to have hated this book so I figured I should just get this done and then move on to the rest of my awesome TBR.

Scochrane26 I liked it, but I think people didn‘t like the ending. But, I knew it wasn‘t the traditional fantasy book when the 2nd did all the lily story, so people shouldn‘t expect a traditional happy ending. I‘m still undecided about the ending—it definitely isn‘t as bad as Allegiant, IMO. (edited) 4y

I finished this book this morning I would give this trilogy three stars it‘s not the best,but it‘s pretty enjoyable.Yet again Kelsea is just so brave like literally.This is the most original story I have ever read EVER! It‘s just so new and original.The ending literally was so horrible like seriously! I can‘t believe that happened to Kelsea is literally stuck in this normal world and her guard doesn‘t even know her NOT EVEN PEN!Totally recommend!

This trilogy was the best I read in 2018. Political intrigue, tension and an awesome mix of fantasy and science fiction elements. It's better to take your time though, as this has many story layers.

"How important is safety? Is it worth steadily undermining every principle on which a new nation was founded? What sort of nation will you have then?"

I really enjoyed this series. I don't know if I've ever read a fantasy trilogy that so effortlessly married the very real present to a fictional past and future. Definitely going to be recommending these ?

Current audiobook. They changed narrators for the third time in three books but I like this one better than the second.

Erinsuereads Oh I hate when that happens! I was listening to a trilogy a while back and almost quit the first book because I didn‘t like the narrator. Then the second book narrator was fantastic so I got all excited. Then boom! Third book the first narrator was back. Ruined a series that was kind of meh to begin with! 6y
KeepCalmWithBooksAndCoffee @ErinSueG It is so frustrating. I loved the first narrator so much. This third one is growing on me so hopefully it all works out. The books are great though so that helps!! 6y

The first book in the series was good, but started going downhill part way through the second one. The third one continued the process and went even further with a deeply disappointing end. Do not recommend.

Mommamanzi Just finished the third one. Like you I loved the first one, the second one was ok but started going downhill, third one was..... umm.... really disappointing. 6y

Mehso-so

So I know lots of people have strong feelings about this ending but I found it... meh. I dunno this series has been weird for me. The first book I found mediocre, the second mind-blowing and this final instalment was just slightly above mediocre for me. It wasn‘t my favourite way to tie off the series, but I felt like it fit with the direction of the books. #YA

TracyReadsBooks I thought the first book was ok, didn‘t love the direction of the second one, and haven‘t been able to make myself read the third even though I own it! I guess that means I‘m fairly ambivalent about the series?!? 6y
Soubhiville I‘ve only read the first, and I agree, it was a big meh for me. I‘m not interested in reading any more by her. 6y
Jabberwocky @Soubhiville I agree. I‘m kind of a completion-ist so I picked up the second at a good price and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it- she goes in a dystopian direction, but the third was another let down. @TracyReadsBooks The third follows the second one but it‘s not as well done/interesting. I‘ll be donating my copies. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

Went shopping for my #dystopianblues match today. I ordered some things online and once they arrive I should be ready to send it off.
Remember that resolution I made to use the library more and read the books I have before buying more? That lasted this many days only because I hadn't set foot in a bookstore yet... 🙈😱. But I have the first two books in this series and it was a bargain so I guess I don't feel too bad?! I did limit myself to one!

I‘ve seen this floating around Litsy the last few days, and thought I‘d join in to wrap up 2017!

1. First Read of the Year: The Fate of the Tearling

While I really enjoyed the first book in this series, I felt like the two sequels did not live up to the promise of the first. I liked the feminist take on the fantasy genre, but liked it less as the focus moved away from Kelsea and towards other characters and time periods.

Do you ever get home from work and accidentally blow through the last 60% of a book without noticing how much time passed? ...yeah, me neither 😇

This was a very engrossing series, and while I have some quibbles with a few plot points I enjoyed the trilogy as a whole and was very pleased to see so much complex female representation in a fantasy series. I have mixed feelings about the ending though, as most people seem to 😜

LeeRHarry I'm with you on the ending that's for sure 😏but I thought it was a great series nevertheless 6y

The final installment of this trilogy--I couldn't put it down! It wrapped up a lot of the lingering questions I had from book two--The Invasion of the Tearling. I liked that the secondary characters were true to form. I didn't like that it was told in flashback as much as it was; I missed the action of Kelsea. Good storytelling!
