Queen of Always by Sherry D. Ficklin
Rating: A+
(5 stars)
Queen of Always is a powerful and compelling conclusion to the Stolen Empire trilogy, so much that it has rendered me speechless...and that doesn't happen too often with me. I marathoned all three books, to refresh my memory of Catherine and her struggles, and boy, it was well worth it! I was completely absorbed into the story, and just, WOW. This book (and the whole trilogy) is a fast paced, constantly on-the-edge-of-your-seat story. It is well written, packed with action, and the characters are far from flat and boring. Oh, how I hated Peter!! If it were possible to strangle a fictional character in their sleep, I would—king or not.
Overall, the series is wrapped up nicely, leaving no questions plaguing my mind, and I would HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone who loves YA and is looking for something a little different. Not every fantasy book is created equally, but this book is the type of stuff that I just love to gush over.
