The Queen of the Tearling

The Queen of the Tearling  - Erika Johansen Between chapters one and two I read two or three other books, because I couldn't make myself go back to it.
So I have to thank the amazing Aly∞, without whom I would NOT have made it past the first chapter, and this review would not exist!




Kelsea Glynn is the rightful heir to the throne, but no one knows where she is; she's been in hiding her entire life.
Today is her nineteenth birthday, and time for her to take back her throne from her uncle, who is wasting the crown's money on his own illicit pleasures, rather than helping its people.
She's a little on the chubby side, a bookworm, and wants what's best for her people, add to that the fact that this book has been likened to The Hunger Games, and Game of Thrones.


Sounds like an interesting story, no?


I thought so, too, and then I hit page eight of this 432 page novel, and the troubles started.
