In today’s political climate, this attitude is vital for effecting change. I love that Johansen didn’t just set out to write a series that left the “right” person on the throne and closed up shop – it really grapples with how to build a better, more just world and submits for the reader’s consideration that it all depends on us. I also admired the trilogy’s continued commitment to the idea of a better, peaceful world, one where quality of life wasn’t just good, but people were good. When you’re waiting for a book to reveal a long-awaited secret, it’s not hard to become immediately engrossed.
What gives Kelsea’s sapphires their power? How does the Crossing work? What happened all those years ago to cause William Tear’s vision to go so far off course? Who is Kelsea’s father? Most of these questions are secondary to the main plot of the book but are woven into Kelsea’s fate so compellingly that the book easily held my attention. Over the course of the three Tearling novels, Johansen has managed to structure her story in such a way that I was very eager to dive in and at last discover the tale’s hidden secrets. The final installment of the Tearling trilogy has arrived, and author Erika Johansen has a tall order for rounding off Kelsea’s saga: What will happen to the Red Queen? What truths will be revealed about the past in Kelsea’s visions? What will happen to Father Tyler? Can the Tearling be saved? Those few questions, and more, stand to be answered in Johansen’s final volume.
