I wrote The Queen of the Tearling specifically for readers like me, readers who were tired of the heroine's gorgeous appearance controlling her environment. What do you think is the most important thing to consider when crafting a heroine?ĮJ: It depends on whom you're writing for. Kelsea has much larger issues on her plate, and in that way, she's refreshing. She doesn't believe she's plain while everyone else sees her true beauty, her guards think she could stand to lose a few pounds, and romance is present yet not a strong theme in the novel. Row watches him leave, surrounded by his servants barefoot young children dressed in rags.Bookish: Kelsea is an excellent heroine for female readers in that she represents diversity. The Fetch leaves, thinking about the men that he has sent to find Father Tyler. The Fetch expresses his desire to atone for his actions by giving Kelsea the crown, but Row states that he has been looking for the crown for a long time, and will destroy whoever stands in his way. The two appear to have been friends when they were younger, before Row manipulated the Fetch into unwittingly causing Jonathan Tear's death. They have a conversation where the Fetch reveals that he has found the royal crown, and Row reveals the Fetch's real name: Gavin. Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea-and the Tearling itself-will finally be revealed. But the Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned in Mortmesne. To protect her people from a devastating invasion, Kelsea did the unthinkable-she gave herself and her magical sapphires to her enemy-and named the Mace, the trusted head of her personal guards, Regent in her place. In her quest to end corruption and restore justice, she has made many enemies-including the evil Red Queen, her fiercest rival, who has set her armies against the Tear. As she has come into her own as the Queen of the Tearling, the headstrong, visionary leader has also transformed her realm. In less than a year, Kelsea Glynn has transformed from a gawky teenager into a powerful monarch.
