4 - 4 1/2 stars. Book 2 in the Tearling trilogy was another good read.. Queen Kelsea has grown into her role and is maturing and changing, even her looks are changing. She's also having dreams about a woman, Lily, who lives in the…

A great sequel. I think it’s very clever how the story kind of jumps from one perspective to another without it feeling to jumbled or confusing. I will say though for some reason I just could not connect with the character Kelsea was…

I find this series to be really refreshing and a bit darker than others in the genre, but this book itself wasn't as good as the first. I enjoyed it, but wasn't as hooked or amazed. It might be because so much of it was set in New York, or…

Well, I have to say I didn't see that one coming! I don't know how well I can review this without spoilers, but here we go... This book was a terrific build on the first one. The action is amazing, the plot is AMAZING, and I loved that…

Kelsea is literally such an idol. She is strong in a way that female teens should look up to as a role model. Her strong sense of justice and lack of that "steryotypical" brashness that female characters must have to be strong, really tops…

Excellent writer, sophisticated style with plenty of plot. Would like to have given it 5 stars but the use of the past that links to a very modern day society too disparate to the current current time which has a very historical…

Not sure I cared for the flashbacks to her alter ego or whoever that is - I found it disruptive and unnecessary. Still an interesting protagonist but the book didn't hold me like the first one did.

This was not as good as the first one. I didn't enjoy Lily's story and I find this world is getting more and more confusing. It's also a brutal story where there are trigger warning for cutting, domestic violence and rape. None of which I…

This book was just as good, if not better, than the first. Awesome world-building, truly engaging characters, and the storytelling is brilliant. I loved this book. Can't wait for book 3, coming out at the end of 2016!

I think the author must have been traumatized by a right winger...sheesh. I enjoyed the first book, eagerly dove into this one, then realized it's a bunch of tired old tropes. It's medieval living and post apocalyptic as a number of these…

The sequel is every bit as good as the first book in the series! Queen Kelsea learns more and more about the power of the sapphires and meets the 'dark thing' that plagues the Red Queen. A character named Lily seems to haunt Kelsea,…

I struggled to keep interested with the book through out the earlier chapters but that is most likely due to the fact that I'm not big on war or politics. To my surprise..about half way through I found myself not able to put it down! The…
