The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen - Reading from 'The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling #1)' from July 10th 2019
I'm going to join yous if that's okay :)
All the different POVs are annoying me. I get that they will probably be a good addition later on in the book but for now, I just find them annoying
I would like this better if it was written in the first person but im only in the second chapter, hope it doesnt get to boring
I found it really hard to get into at the beginning and it does get better I suppose but I'm not loving the book so far.
I'm just starting.. the beginning is a bit weird but it looks promising.

Felt like a slog getting through ch1! Nothing wrong with it, but the need to establish the world means we get quite a lot thrown at us.
Book One-some parts seemed slow (giving background to events) of necessity, but Kelsea clearly has the potential to do great things. Curious to know exactly who The Fetch is.
Initially off-putting because I kept picturing Emma Watson as Kelsea - and she most certainly is not plain. Once this mental hurdle was cleared, I found myself drawn into the world and enjoying the intrigue/Kelsea's learning about her new kingdom. Plenty set up to look forward to the second part.
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Hope I've done the right number of comments now. Didn't realise it was separate to status updates.
Has anyone who's finished this read Book Two yet?
Having now completed the book, so many questions!

Red Queen (other topics)
Young Kelsea Raleigh was raised in hiding after the death of her mother, Queen Elyssa, far from the intrigues of the royal Keep and in the care of two devoted servants who pledged their lives to protect her. Growing up in a cottage deep in the woods, Kelsea knows little of her kingdom's haunted past . . . or that its fate will soon rest in her hands.
Long ago, Kelsea's forefathers sailed away from a decaying world to establish a new land free of modern technology. Three hundred years later, this feudal society has divided into three fearful nations who pay duties to a fourth: the powerful Mortmesne, ruled by the cunning Red Queen. Now, on Kelsea's nineteenth birthday, the tattered remnants of the Queen's Guard—loyal soldiers who protect the throne—have appeared to escort the princess on a perilous journey to the capital to ascend to her rightful place as the new Queen of the Tearling.
Though born of royal blood and in possession of the Tear sapphire, a jewel of immense power and magic, Kelsea has never felt more uncertain of her ability to rule. But the shocking evil she discovers in the heart of her realm will precipitate an act of immense daring, throwing the entire kingdom into turmoil—and unleashing the Red Queen's vengeance. A cabal of enemies with an array of deadly weapons, from crimson-caped assassins to the darkest blood magic, plots to destroy her. But Kelsea is growing in strength and stealth, her steely resolve earning her loyal allies, including the Queen's Guard, led by the enigmatic Lazarus, and the intriguing outlaw known simply as "the Fetch."
Kelsea's quest to save her kingdom and meet her destiny has only just begun. Riddled with mysteries, betrayals, and treacherous battles, Kelsea's journey is a trial by fire that will either forge a legend . . . or destroy her.
