Perhaps a 3.5 stars. This book had a pretty decent amount of pages and I felt like not much happened. Very disappointed, but still enjoyed it.
This book was so much fun! I liked the many twists and plots. One thing that drove me nuts was Kelsea's foolishness, but overall it was really good. Can't wait to finish this series!!
There are so many times were sequels do not live up to the previous books, this was not one of the instances. This book was amazing, even better than the first in many ways. This trilogy is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time. There are so many characters that I have fallen in love with and need to know everything about.
This book dived further into the world, plus we got expansive information on the origin story of the Tearling. It was fascinating to watch the story unfold and reveals to surprise me, but also make perfect sense. Kelsea never ceases to amaze me as she fights for her people.
That being said, the fact that I have to wait almost an entire year now for the final book is killing me. I still have so many more questions and need so much more from this world. I can honestly say, I have no idea where this series is going, but I'm stoked to find out.
Finally, I need to know who Kelsea's father is. I was convinced at two different points in this book we were going to find out, but we did not.
Smack in the middle of the series. It's a complicated bit of time, history, and magic. Great if you read the first one..probably rubbish without it. I can't wait to see how/if Kelsey fixes this mess in the next book.
The genre bending is even stronger now. We've got something like a lazy epic fantasy tossed together with some Divergent-style future distopia and... I have no idea how good or bad the next book will do with tying everything together but it'll be a wonder if it can.
I'm not sure why but I got caught up in the story and couldn't put it down at the end. I like flawed characters that make me think that things aren't just black and white and this book has plenty. I like the surprising development and flashbacks of the Tearling Queen and how the Tear was formed. The story basically asks the question, is there such a thing as an utopian society and where is our society going now and where could it end up leading us? All questions that make me think a little bit more.
Di buku kedua ini Kelsea “menyebrang” ke kehidupan seorang Lily Mayhew. Apa kaitan antara Le;sea & Lily baru terungkap di akhir buku, itupun sbnrnya masih menggantung.
Seperti yg diduga, krn Kelsea menghentikan pengiriman budak ke Mortmesne, Ratu merah siap menginvasi Tearling dgn mulai menyiagakan pasukannya di perbatasan. Kelsea memerintahkan untuk mulai mengevakuasi penduduk di jalur yg diduga akan dilewati oleh pasukan Mort.
Di buku ini kita akan mengetahui siapa nama Ratu Merah sbnrnya. Seri ini akan tamat di buku 3 jd masih bersambung.
