The Fate of the Tearling

i’ve restarted and continued!!!

noting: devin and cae are more queen’s guards and rip ****

also: row finn’s story kinda reminds me of anakin’s in the prequel trilogy 🤔🤔

He had, in fact, though his sisters were now doing all they could for him, by calling him 'poor Richard,' been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove, who had never done anything to entitle himself to more than the abbreviation of his name, living or dead.

The Queen of the Tearling

Finally FINALLY I’m reading this! I’ve been delaying the last million years because I was terrified. Me being so fickle, I didn’t want to have to experience losing love for my favorite series. Now that my drama is semi-over, I’m excited to get reintroduced into this world!!!

Already I’m seeing so many little bits of foreshadowing! And in this round, I’m trying to keep track of everyone in the Queen’s Guard, their appearances, mannerisms, and other things to note.

Dyer - the rare redhead

Mhurn - who i didn’t think was blonde??????? especially given that 🙊

Elston - missing teeth, broad shoulders, and iirc also Gay

Mace - menacing and has this tough guy persona on the outside, but maybe a 100 pages later a total softie

Carroll - you will be missed 😢

Pen - he’s THIRTY 🤔 i never remembered that bit i always gave him the age of 28 bc all i remembered as her first impression was that he’s close to thirties

Galen - uh... i remember nothing????? i actually almost forgot about him lmao

EDIT: and Kibb!!! i forgot yikes

The Invasion of the Tearling

“Pen smiled, a private type of smile that had nothing to do with the conversation, and in that moment Kelsea became sure of something she’d only suspected: Pen had a woman”

you dumb fool you utter buffoon

OHHH HOW RIGHT BUT SO WRONG YOU ARE

nothing about the Tearling trilogy is ever consistent 😑😑😑😑😑😑

i’m listening to the audiobooks (a different experience than when i simply read them) and for one, the narrator changes with every book, and two, while this second narrator isn’t bad she has troubles with consistency (she would change accent mid-sentence among many things) and it’s obvious there were no consultations on the direction of this audiobook as compared to what was already established in the first book

i wasn’t too big a fan of the really high pitched witch-sounding voice of the first narrator but i liked her style a lot and found myself enjoying despite the fact. but this one is difficult on multiple levels.
