Description
"Katniss Everdeen, you have competition."—Entertainment Weekly
In the final volume of the the New York Times bestselling Tearling trilogy, which has captivated readers around the world, Erika Johansen brings the series to a climactic and satisfying close.
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 the Queen’s Guard, as Regent in her place. The Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned and imperiled in Mortmesne. While they embark on this dangerous mission, Kelsea must unravel the secrets of her own heritage and of the Tearling’s past, secrets with stakes far higher than she could ever have imagined. But a powerful new enemy stands in her way. Bolstered by anger from the past and growing stronger by the day, he’ll stop at nothing to destroy anyone who challenges his claim.
Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea—and of the Tearling itself—will finally be revealed.

A great ending
5By Dnar99A enjoyable journey. Ending was great and wrapped it up nicely. Totally had tears in my eyes.Better ending
3By UnCommonColdI wish the ending was betterDisappointing.
2By ClevelandRocks!The ending ruined it for me. I felt like the author was trying to teach readers a lesson. That life is hard. Get over yourself. Deal. Move on. It was an easy way for the writer to end it. Didn’t have to close any of the story lines. Sad.Beautiful and Devastating
5By Shayde ladySo well written. Multiple story lines that tie in seamlessly. The ultimate sacrifice that you don’t really see coming and that hurts in a different you expect because you grow so attached to every character. It’s not only kelsea who loses everything and everyone in the story, but you as well. The author did an amazing job and I cannot stop cryingWorst Ending Ever
2By Goldy FoxSave yourself the trouble of reading this series. It felt like the Author paints herself into a corner and can’t get out using a plausible storyline.Disappointed :(
3By not plain jayne1I was really stunned at the turn in the second and third books - such an open contempt for religion. Wow. It seemed the author’s vision for a socialist utopian circumvented the need to leave the reader with a more satisfying conclusion for the characters we loved. But this is just my opinion, of course.Gripping to the very end!
5By Notmyown557Such a great read! All the books stole my attention from real life. I couldn’t stop reading! Thank you for such a beautiful series of books ❤️Certainly not a neat ending...
4By Babygirl 24I just finished the Tearling series and found the final book to be lacking. I was left wanting more...What the whatting what?!
3By Evasmom2015The three stars are sympathy stars. I loved the first two books, well done. Exciting, interesting, great stories! And I loved this one too, right up until the end. Why?!!!! Seriously? You just erased it all?!! Such a cop out! :("My magic system works because I say it does"
2By Toohey2Spoilers ahead. I was so very disappointed in this book. I enjoyed the first two and the world the author was building. I was waiting for the explanations of her magic system. Nope. None there. The ending is rushed and feels wrong. Still many characters I enjoyed but not enough to rate this book higher. Read it just to finish the series.
