The cruellest thing erika johansen did to kelsea glynn was change her face.
#ME!#the tearling trilogy#i am thinking about this series again. with a bit of trouble considering i am in the middle of another book#but i remembered this i remembered how my mouth fell open in shock bc oh my god.#in queen she was blandly average looking. like. she was not pretty. she was not ugly. she just was.#i hated the focus on her looks but it became a plot point and i sort of forgive her#bc in invasion she starts having these visions of lily who lived a different life quite a while ago. and lily is pretty.#and kelsea does want to be pretty but she also doesnt want to become her mother and she feels that being pretty would help that#so shes content but she does wish a little that she was prettier. and then the jewels start showinf her visions of lily and lily is gorgeous#pretty even. the jewels give her lily's body lily's face. just in time for kelsea to bathe in her anger#and the fucked thing is that shes treated with more respect by everyone around her. (pen not included.)#(my boy pen was in love with her from the start and could never do any wrong)#but everyone else. no one in her guard said a goddamn word but they treated her differently#by the end of the old tearling she was yearning for her old face. she wanted her old face back so badly. she realised her mistake in wanting#to be pretty almost immediately and she wanted her old face back but the jewels never gave her that#all of this in turn made me hold my breath the first time she looked in the mirror in the new tearling.#she was begging for her face to be her face again and she almost cried (if im remembering correctly. or maybe that was me) when she saw her#own face staring back at her. out of the few good things the new world gave her. this was the best.
