The Fate of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
4.0
Maybe it's a 3.5 but I can't decide
I'm so so so deeply sad right now. This has been one of my all-time favorite series and I think the first two books are masterpieces, but this one just stumbled and fell on the ending. It could have ended any other way and I think I would have been happy, but this ending is one of my ultimate pet peeves in terms of fictional worlds. It frustrates me like nothing else does and I can't get over it.
The rest of this book stands up with the series. There are still new characters that are interesting, still a morally gray main character who is so flawed and fascinating and strong. And it was seriously terrifying a few times. If not for the ending this would have been a nearly perfect series. But the ending. Oh, the ending. I'll just be crying forever now.
