The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen


When Kelsea Glynn is 19 years old, a group of men appear at her doorstep and take her to the Keep. There is her castle, because Kelsea isn't just some 19 year old girl. She is the Queen of the Tearling.

With every book in this series I needed some time to get into the story, because the chapters are very large and it sometimes switches between POV's. Which is totally fine, but it sometimes distracted me too much. I really like this world building, I had some difficult with understanding when the story takes place (future) but after a while I got it and that made the books better. Although I did not like every aspect of Kelsea, Johansen is such a great writer. I liked how Johansen wrote the mysteries and made it all come together. I often was blown away by the revelation of some aspects of the stories!

Kelsea is a strong young woman with a strong mind, but sometimes she does not think her actions through...and that has consequences. I also have a big dislike about her attitude about the appearance of people. She thinks herself as a ugly young girl, I get why, because her mother was the Beautifull Queen, but she really couldn't stop thinking about her appearance and that from others. One thing that happened in book One made her, just for a few seconds, not think about that.

I really liked this trilogy and I would recommend this to every adult and more mature young adults!
BE AWARE! Book two contains domenestic abuse and rape!!
I did not knew that and I had to put the book aside because I was not prepared for it.

I give this trilogy a total of ☆☆☆☆,5

Forest of Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

Fairyloot October book was a Villainous read about an Asian Evil Queen. I did not expected much of it because I do not like Snowwhite's story and I'm new to the Asian setting. I do think that Asian culture is very interesting to learn from and about. Xifeng (shefung) is a poor girl who lives with her aunt in a little village in Feng Lu, all she has is the education her aunt taught her and her beauty. Her destiny is shown in the cards...to become the next Empress. So she set out towards the palace.... This is such a nice retelling from the POV of a villain! That is something I haven't read before. And I really liked it. Xifeng develops towards the Evil Queen and it is really nice to see that happen. Dao has a really nice writingstyle, I couldn't put the book down. Even if you don't read as much as I do or if you are not as good in English you can still easily read this book. ☆☆☆☆,5 If you doubt to read this book, do it! The series/duology is called ...

Mijn Young Adult top 5

Ik vind het leuk om young adult boeken te lezen omdat je er lekker mee weg kan dromen. Een andere reden dat ik dit lees is omdat ik van fantasy houd. Ik vind crime ook leuk, maar toch lees ik liever young adult omdat ik vooral daarbij gewoon erg relaxed kan lezen. Dit zijn mijn top 5 young adult series die ik de afgelopen vier jaar heb gelezen. De boeken staan in wilelkeurige volgorde, dus niet van goed naar minder goed of andersom. Volgens het woordenboek: Dystopian novels zijn boeken die een wereld beschrijven waar je niet in zou willen leven. The Selection series van Kiera Cass Ik denk dat de Selectie-serie en de korte novels mijn favoriete serie is van dit rijtje. Ik vind verhalen over prinsessenjurken en parelle werelden erg leuk en interessant. In dit boek is bv, een derde wereld oorlog uitgebroken en is er een soort burgeroorlog bezig tijdens de boeken. Ik heb de selectie serie heel snel uitgelezen en ook al was het voorspelbaar vond ik het toch leuk om te lezen h...
