Week 38 Review: The Fate of Tearling

From Goodreads:

The thrilling conclusion to the 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.

My first review of The Fate of Tearling 
My Review:
Man, this was an amazing read! Even knowing what was going to happen, it was just such a great and compelling story! I loved Kelsea's journey, and the decisions that she makes-and what ended up resulting from her choices!

Even knowing how things would wrap up, the last book left on such a cliffhanger ending, that I had to see how things went for Kelsea again. She played a risky move, and it worked out, but she was in a very precarious situation! 

Like the previous book, we were getting Kelsea's story, but we were also in the past, of the first generation that was born on this land, and the politics of what was going on there, which answered some pretty big lingering questions from the first book, which I really enjoyed! 

I still find that ending so bittersweet. I mean, things worked out, and people who were lost, are back. But those relationships that she built, those memories, she's the only one that has them, and their lives are very different. So that's a little bit sad! 

This was a really fantastic read, and I can't wait to finally read Beneath the Keep!
