i'm pretty satisfied with that as an ending to the series, i mean it got better towards the end and i'm glad that
edit 13/10/18: on reading all three books consecutively i'm upping my rating from a 4 to 5. i forgot just how great an ending this book was to the series. i also actually really like kitty, like okay sometimes she makes some bad decisions but in the heat of the moment i see why she does. i think by this point in the series she was a lot more mature than she was at the beginning and i could tell after i read all three books in a day (when i was meant to be studying) this series has some deeper thinking points, about people's motivations and how different they are. ngl i would totally, self-indulgently, read a novella about kitty and knox just being happy together after all they've been through. i love their banter but also that little bit we got at the end of them just realising how much they truly mean to each other (though it couldn't have hurt for it be a bit more fluffy for us could it :') ) i'm actually surprised how few people have read this series?

kitty and knox's relationship was like slow, and it wasn't suddenly like oh yes i love you but kind of a slow build up throughout the novel.edit 13/10/18: on reading all three books consecutively i'm upping my rating from a 4 to 5. i forgot just how great an ending this book was to the series. i also actually really like kitty, like okay sometimes she makes some bad decisions but in the heat of the moment i see why she does. i think by this point in the series she was a lot more mature than she was at the beginning and i could tell after i read all three books in a day (when i was meant to be studying) this series has some deeper thinking points, about people's motivations and how different they are. ngl i would totally, self-indulgently, read a novella about kitty and knox just being happy together after all they've been through. i love their banter but also that little bit we got at the end of them just realising how much they truly mean to each other (though it couldn't have hurt for it be a bit more fluffy for us could it :') ) i'm actually surprised how few people have read this series?

Disappointed in this one for a few reasons. Definitely didn't care for the flipflop of her heart. Made it seem like you couldn't love AND be IN love with your best friend, and you can. :) Also thought there were so many times she could have killed whoever she wanted to kill. Despite all her "willingness" to die for the cause, she never actually took the chance to do that. She could have killed dozens and dozens of times, and yes perhaps died too, but at least the baddies would be dead as well.
Overall, enjoyable series.

Sometimes you need to sacrifice your queen to capture the king.Queen concludes Aimee Carter's Blackcoat Rebellion trilogy, and it is a solid and satisfying ending to the series that has intrigued and captivated me ever since [b: Pawn|44659|Pawn of Prophecy (The Belgariad, #1)|David Eddings|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391346857s/44659.jpg|2558293].
The Blackcoats and the government are at a stalemate, neither side willing to budge. Luckily for the Blackcoats, however, they still has one last strategy up their sleeves for winning the war: the truth. But what will the truth cost them?
Kitty is done being a pawn. She's done pretending to be someone she's not. But more than anything, she's done living under the Prime Minister's tyranny. In [b:Pawn|10838787|Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1)|Aimee Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374097236s/10838787.jpg|15753006] and [b:Captive|10944842|Captive (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #2)|Aimee Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1401199460s/10944842.jpg|15862210], Kitty makes some questionable decisions, but not so in Queen. Kitty finally realizes the gravity of what she and the Blackcoats are trying to accomplish, and that revelation truly shows in how much she matures over the course of the story, and she is a much more likeable protagonist because of it.
All in all, Queen is a satisfying and well-written finale to Kitty's story. I am intrigued to see what Aimee Carter writes next.
