The Queen of the Tearling is a gripping read with an enchanting heroine. Erika Johansen has created a wonderful world and I can’t wait to read more.

BERNARD CORNWELL

Destined to be a fantasy classic. Johansen’s writing is assured, confident and thrilling. I can’t wait for the next book.

AMY McCULLOCH, author of The Oathbreaker’s Shadow

A fast-paced and original fantasy, written with a confident and accomplished style, with plenty of intrigue and mystery.

ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY, author of the bestselling ‘Shadows of the Apt’

A page-turner full of adventure, sorcery, swords, and politics - not to mention a clever heroine with guts and conviction to spare. The Queen of the Tearling kept me up way past my bedtime and left me wanting more!

HELENE WECKER, author of The Golem and the Jinni

This book worked on me with all the subtle power of an addiction: by the time I realized I was hooked, it was far too late to stop.

LAUREN OLIVER, author of Before I Fall

Enjoyable, fast-paced read. Kelsea is a strong female lead...and she heads a list of well-drawn characters who feature in some haunting, tear-jerking moments that leave you desperate to read the next instalment...A top summer read.
