From Goodreads:
PAWN…CAPTIVE…QUEEN?Kitty Doe is a Blackcoat rebel and a former captive with a deadly connection to the most powerful and dangerous man in the country, Prime Minister Daxton Hart. Forced to masquerade as Daxton’s niece, Lila Hart, Kitty has helped the Blackcoats take back the prison known as Elsewhere. But Daxton has no intention of ceding his position of privilege—or letting Kitty expose his own masquerade. Not in these United States, where each person’s rank means the difference between luxury and poverty, freedom and fear…and ultimately, between life and death.
To defeat the corrupt government, Kitty must expose Daxton’s secret. Securing evidence will put others in jeopardy, including the boy she’s loved forever and an ally she barely trusts. For months, Kitty’s survival has hinged on playing a part. Now she must discover who she truly wants to be, and whether the new world she and the rebels are striving to create has a place in it for her after all.

I started reading the Blackcoat Rebellion series years ago when it was first released. I loved absolutely everything about it and I couldn’t wait to see how it was going to end. But then, story of my life, I got distracted by other books and so when the final book released it was just pushed to the back-burner while I was reading other books. Fast forward many, many years and I finally decided to finish this amazing series. While I physically read the first two books, I decided to listen to this final book on Audio. I am so glad that I did as the narrator did a fantastic job of bringing Kitty to life.
It was amazing to be back in this dystopia world and I was once again completely drawn in and emotionally involved in the lives of these characters. Aimee’s writing style is fantastic and really draws you in right from the start. A part of me wishes that I was physically reading this book. Then I could have been flipping through the pages faster and faster… you’re kind of stuck with the speed you’re on with an audiobook.
Queen was a phenomenal ending to a fantastic series. It was filled to the brim with twists and turns that I never saw coming. This is a major thing for me, as I usually figure twists out when I am reading. Instead, with this one I was often left sat open-mouthed shocked and utterly heartbroken over what was happening. I really enjoyed every single moment of this amazing finale to the Blackcoat Rebellion series. It was a beautiful ending and I am so glad I finally got to finish this one. If you’re a fan of dystopia, I highly recommend this amazing, heartfelt series.
