The Queen Of The Tearling (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Warning: Do not read if you're allergic to frequent mentions of rape and slavery. Also refrain from reading if you're allergic to extremely whiny heroines that are obviously so plain and insecure, it's required by law for us to feel sorry for them. This book is suitable only for readers that only need their books to feature a female protagonist and a 'boy meets girl' love story.I found it unbearably hard to continue once Kel's obvious plainness came into being. I lost my battle with the book at page 80. The heroine bursting into tears almost every page, her cliche background and yes, Kel's unbearably low tolerance for life conspired to make a magical, unforgettable adventure. Her mother being oh-so-obviously gorgeous was another fatal blow.The Evil Queen having sex slaves and mentions of rape were the nails in this coffin. I never even got deeper into the 'unique' love story between the sheltered, crybaby heroine and the dashing thief. The writing style was as bland as watery lemonade, which threw my coffin into the dirt. En realidad, 4.5. Si bien el libro empezó algo lento y confuso, de a poco me empezó a enganchar. Me gustaron los personajes, y me gustaron los diferentes puntos de vista de la historia, aunque no se vio mucho. Lo que no me gustó fue eso de "futurista/post apocalíptico". Lo único que hizo fue confudirme y todavía no tengo claro de dónde se supone que cruzaron y por qué. Ahora no entiendo cómo Emma Watson va a hacer de Kelsea, no se parecen en nada. Pero bueno, si funcionó con Hermione...
