The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

4.0

Some mixed feelings, but in the end, I really enjoyed the plot and insight into the history of this world. The most interesting part of the novel is definitely Lily's story and the glimpses of the pre-Crossing world, and how that connects to the "present" day saga of Kelsea and the Tearling. It's why I kept reading, because Lily and her struggles are far more interesting than the focus on Kelsea's sexuality and her obsession with receiving male attention.
