The Invasion of the Tearling

A Novel

By: Erika Johansen

Narrated by: Davina Porter

In this riveting sequel to the national bestseller The Queen of the Tearling, the evil kingdom of Mortmesne invades the Tearling, with dire consequences for Kelsea and her realm.

With each passing day, Kelsea Glynn is growing into her new responsibilities as Queen of the Tearling. By stopping the shipments of slaves to the neighboring kingdom of Mortmesne, she crossed the Red Queen, a brutal ruler whose power derives from dark magic, who is sending her fearsome army into the Tearling to take what is hers. And nothing can stop the invasion.

But as the Mort army draws ever closer, Kelsea develops a mysterious connection to a time before the Crossing, and she finds herself relying on a strange and possibly dangerous ally: a woman named Lily, fighting for her life in a world where being female can feel like a crime. The fate of the Tearling —and that of Kelsea’s own soul—may rest with Lily and her story, but Kelsea may not have enough time to find out.

In this dazzling sequel, Erika Johansen brings back favorite characters, including the Mace and the Red Queen, and introduces unforgettable new players, adding exciting layers to her multidimensional tale of magic, mystery, and a fierce young heroine.

book great, change in narrator, odd

I love this book, quite possibly more than the first. less teen angst and more adult trials. Davina Porter is a fantastic narrator, but I'm used to het doing the entire Outlander series, so it's odd going from the wonderful Katherine Kellgren to Claire Fraser, haha.
good though.

Tearling

Book 2 is really good. Erika Johansen is good at story telling. I plan to read the other Tealing story .

Awesome

I love this series. Story is good and I keep wanting more. So when is the next one? Hopefully soon.

can't get enough

I can't get enough of this series! it's wonderfully written and performed. I love how much it makes me think of what's going on in the world today.

The imagination of this book is great

Although I liked the reader of first book more, this reader wasn’t terrible. But the story is great, traveling between is something I didn’t expect. I dove into the worlds of this book. Just a good book!
