Johansen, E: Fate of the Tearling A Novel

"Kelsea flourishes alongside the other female characters at the center of the novel: These are powerful, determined women who work hard to accomplish their goals even as their mistakes haunt them. Johansen doesn't punish them for these mistakes; she allows them to grow, leading to a well-earned ending." - Washington Post

"Johansen has consistently taken huge narrative risks with this series. . . . With richly developed characters who are never boring black and white, and villains who are as fascinating as the heroes, the finale of this outstanding series will be talked about by readers." - Library Journal, Pick of the Month

"Johansen's vision-a society tearing itself apart amid the effort to redefine itself-is ambitious, and the conflict is fleshed out through myriad character arcs. . . . wraps up the story quite nicely." - Publishers Weekly

"Excellent." - Entertainment Weekly, "Must List"
