Beneath the Keep is a fantastic exploration of the turbulent history of the Tearling and it's dark and complicated political climate. I absolutely adored meeting some of the characters from the Tearling series, and getting a deeper look into the motivations behind many of the political figures before the Queen of the Tearling begins. I was particularly fascinated by Elyssa's story and the deep dive into the Blue Horizon's history. The political drama is written spectacularly and kept me wanting more throughout the entire novel! This book is a wonderful addition to the story of the Tearling, and I would absolutely recommend it to any fan of the series!
