Best Books of 2020 So Far. 10 Fantasy Books with Excellent Feminist Heroines. This post is sponsored by Harper Paperbacks, publishers of Erika Johansen’s bestselling Queen of the Tearling trilogy. The Invasion of the Tearling, volume two in the bestselling Queen of the Tearling trilogy, is now in paperback.

Buzzfeed says, “The world of The Queen of the Tearling is an intoxicating brew of dystopian fiction, high fantasy, science fiction, and a bit of a horror—and in The Invasion of the Tearling, Johansen…takes this trilogy to even greater heights.”
