This book was incredible. I wish I had saved it for my 2021 challenge because it fit a lot of the prompts. I really enjoyed the characters and the world building, and I'll definitely be picking up book 2. I did find it a bit more "adult" than other YA novels, not the entire thing but a few lines every few chapters were far from PG. ( )

Waaaaay overpriced! Will wait for a significant price drop. ( )

Interesting world that seems old but is really far future Earth. Mysterious magic that isn't fully explained yet. Powerful teenaged Queen but refreshingly not beautiful and good at everything. Lots of gruff soldiers with hearts of gold. Super evil bad guys and girls. Mysterious dashing bad guy or is he a good guy?

Not perfect but I'm in for book 2. ( )

The Queen of the tearing I really loved this book. It was a great start to high fantsey series. The only reason I gave it four stars was the world building. It was a little week and not as developed at points but overall I really loved it. I was really confused when the world was actually occurred but by the end i figured it out. It has a cool concept and I really loved how each chapter has a quote from history books. I also love the focus on books and reading. I am a life long reader and that just makes me smile.
 
I really did like how the book switched perspectives as well. I almost wish it was done more often in he book. I know the story is kelsea but I would liked to see POV from more characters. I like how magic was introduced and I hope we see more of it. I really love kelsea as a character and I am excited to learn more about her path in future books. 
 
This book is both a great mix of magic and distopian novels. I rec you check it out. I am exited for the next book to see where it goes.
 
here is my video review of it
