The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times best-selling Tearling trilogy.

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 her personal guards, regent in her place. But the Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned in Mortmesne.

Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea - and the Tearling itself - will finally be revealed.

Enjoyed the first two books enormously, had I not checked the narrator after starting the third book I would have said the same person continued from the first to the second, but the reader of the last book completely changed the characters voices and was so droll , I really hated listening to the third book but I wanted to finish the series.
Excellent books,excellent narrators for the first two books but a thumbs down for the third reader, whoever was in charge of the continuation could have , should have made a better choice or at least aimed for a similar reading.

Not enamoured by the third reading.

I absolutely loved it! The characters are amazing and I loved the use of number three. Oh, and the ending was fabulous!

Go Queenie!

OK book with regards to storyline etc, though I felt it was incredibly rushed towards the end.

Also had to contend with, and get used to a different person reading than with book 1 or book 2. (which both have different readers!). It's quite frustrating having to try to get used to another person, who does accents and voice timbres completely differently!! Grrr 😡 😡

OK book,...

How did the overused and repetitive phrases get through editing? There are way too many lingering gazes described through the phrase "for a long moment". Drove me a little bonkers and detracted from an otherwise decent story. Didn't take the direction I was expecting, but I don't know if that excitement made up for that stupid phrase popping up in every other... moment.

For a long moment
