annarella 's review for:

Queen of Volts by Amanda Foody
4.0

As I’m quite unobservant I didn’t notice that this was the last book in a series when I requested this ARC. It could have been a serious problem as there’s a lot of character development and world building but I must thank the author because the references to the backstory were well explained and I had no big problems in understanding the characters or the setting.
I can say I loved this story that mixes grimdark/urban fantasy and steampunk elements and making the mix work well.
The characters are well thought and interesting and I appreciated how most of them are morally grey, even Enne or Levi. Even when we are reading about the “bad guys” there’s always something that makes them interesting.
It’s not a fast paced story and the different POV helps you to understand the different side of the story and getting more involved in what you are reading.
It’s a gripping and highly entertaining story, a YA that can be appreciated by people of all ages and I think that the reading experience will be different for different ages.
I loved the character development, the world building and the political games that drives the story.
It was an excellent read that I strongly recommend. Now I have to read the other books and I’m surely it will improve my experience.
Many thanks to Inkyard Press for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
