  Captive was a disappointment but I'll still read ueen because what can a gal do when Ms Carter here has created a character as enigmatic as Lennox Creed?Sigh The things I do for you KnoxWARNING READ AT YOUR OWN RISK Of course I'm also interested to see how the romance angle would play out in this book seeing as although Kitty is in 'love' with Benjy and they're in a relationship it just seems like a plot device with Benjy as the ever cardboard character who disappears for the majority of the story in both previous books because he's so useless While MsCarter took the time to develop Knox's character and his relationship with Kitty feels organic and natural Below I've compiled some reasons as to why Knox x Kitty Knitty? may still be possible Knox has been the central male character beside Kitty since book 1 As Kitty's boyfriend Benjy in both books appear at the start gone for the middle important part of the story and then appears again towards the end Usually the character that is most prominent and fleshed out is the lead male and in this case all signs point to Knox In short Benjy's only purpose is to serve as bait to lure the antagonists in the book so they can use him to threaten Kitty and add tension to the story But it's still boring as hell since Benjy is so artificial and stale that I can't care about him even if I wanted to While Carter has mostly kept Knox's feelings a mystery there's still subtle hints in Pawn and Captive that reveal romantic notions toward Kitty “He misses you” said Hannah over my shoulder“Knox?” I said too startled to hide my surprise “He doesn’t miss me He never loved me in the first place It was all some twisted political arrangement”“Maybe that’s how it started and maybe that’s what it is for you but I know love when I see it That man would move heaven and earth to keep you safe”From Captive “The I watched him the I understood why the other girls were practically green with envy The way he looked at me the way we moved the heat between us—in the low lights of the club it was intoxicating”From Pawn “He Knox eased down onto the mattress beside me leaving enough room between us so it didn’t become awkward”From CaptiveNow why would Carter bother to mention the 'awkwardness' of Knox sitting next to Kitty on the bed if there isn't already some romantic tension between the two? It's highly unlikely that Knox has feelings for the real Lila especially since Carter has never made any attempts to establish a legitamite romantic relation between the two “Are you really in love with Lila? Is that it?”Several long seconds passed and finally Knox sighed “People like you hold their loved ones above ideals They’ll do anything to protect them no matter what it costs But me—I hold ideals above people No single life is as important as this revolution not even mine” Knox's answer to the uestion was vague and didn't answer Kitty's uestion but instead changed the topic It has happened in other series where originally the second obscure male lead ends up with the girl in the end view spoilerCase in point Warner and Juliette in Shatter Me hide spoiler

  UPADATE AUGUST 7 2015The cover is just awesome with the hexagon shapes that made me think of scifi especially the TV Show Orphan Black I knew it that the eye will have the X symbol Plus the tagline is uite similar to what I made A move that will end it all And the book In the final move you win or die Can't wait to read it Pawn Captive ueen 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 masuerade 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 masuerade Not in these United States where each person's rank means the difference between luxury and poverty freedom and fearand ultimately between life and deathTo 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

  The conclusion to this trilogy did not impress me While the last 50 pages brought me back into the Rebellion the rest of the book left me not caring about the characters and their fates Overall 25 stars; Pawn and Capture proved superior to ueen

  35 StarsI've loved this series and even though I still enjoyed ueen there was one thing missing One pivotal point that it should have ended on All that tension and nothing Where's that bloody novella when you need one?

  So good I kind of wanted of Knox and Kitty but the possibilities that you can imagine from the end of this book are countless This was probably one of the most frustrating series' I've ever read the villains are so beyond evil you can't wait to get to the conclusion where the heroes win Such a good series and great finale

  Jessica (a GREAT read)

  I dove into Aimee Carter's ueen yet again not remembering the previous events well This is the problem of a reader who reads too much LOL Though luckily Aimee does a good job of giving us enough of a recap to see where we are at the beginning of the story And once again we find Kitty working with the Blackcoats in order to bring Daxton Hart down once and for allWe know now that the man claiming to be Daxton Hart isn't the real Daxton but Victor Mercer as Kitty learned he was Masked as Daxton years ago Now the goal is to prove it to the country that he's a fraudKitty and Knox and the rest of the Blackcoats continue to struggle to get the upper hand in this deadly game that they play with Daxton Every time it seems one or the other gets ahead the other comes around and pushes them back We see this and feel the incredible frustration that Kitty and the rest sufferIt's not long before Kitty is caught by Daxton while she knew what she was getting into she's not sorry for her choices For now she can see Grayson and the real Lila And for awhile things are calm and then that's when the storm comesIt's hard to properly describe the events without describing the events You know? LOL But basically this plot is thick with tension There are so many unknown factors in this game and at the crux of it all you really just want Daxton to die a slow and painful death Vindictive much? Well maybe but if you're already invested in this trilogy then you know it's warranted Daxton is just one horrible personOne of the things that I liked was the nice subtle romance True we have a bit of a love triangle going on as we could pretty much see coming But the nice thing again is that it too is subtle And soon enough the triangle is no longer an issue yet there are no lovey dovey moments to be bogged down with While I do enjoy the occasional romantic interlude it was a refreshing change to not have that going on hereI was a bit upset by the lack of Knox in this book Around the halfway point he takes an exit I won't get into the details of that but you can clearly see his lack of presence And then there's the worry for his well being since he is wanted for treason or whatever such farce Daxton claims But when he is around one can't help but notice the chemistry between him and Kitty And while I thought Benjy was a sweet guy and all I was all for Knox in the romance senseThe ending to this one couldn't be perfect I'll admit I was getting a bit upset with how some things turned out or were pushed under the rug And it nearly changed my rating for this one But in the last paragraph or two we are saved the ending struck home And I'll stop there before I say something I don't mean toOverall I have uite enjoyed this series It's a far cry different from my usual reads as there was no paranormal or fantasy elements magic or anything odd about this book But it still has plenty of intrigue and suspense and action to keep me turning those pages as fast as my eyes can read It's rare that I divert this much from my favorite genres but when Aimee Carter is already one of my favorite authors and the plot sounded than intriguing enough I knew it wasn't that much of a risk in reading this Sure enough I was rightIf you're looking for a read filled with intrigue backstabbing plots and plots to overthrow a tyrannical government and a heroine who rises to the challengers thrown at her again and again you couldn't choose a better series than The Blackcoat RebellionOverall Rating 455 stars

  355 starsueen is the final book in the YA dystopian Blackcoat Rebellion trilogyThe narrator is 17 year old Kitty DoeThere will be some spoilers from the first two booksIn Pawn Kitty Doe was surgically transformed Masked to look like Lila Hart the Prime Minister's niece Lila was supposedly dead and so Kitty took over her lifeKitty was working with the Blackcoat Rebellion In Captive she was sent to Elsewhere and held prisonerIn this society your rank dictates your lifeI found this book started off a bit slow I had a hard time getting into it However partway through the book definitely picked up a lot I enjoyed seeing the Blackcoat Rebellion trying to get Victor That guy was super evil and it was very interesting to see how he was always one step ahead of themThe love triangle was also interesting I guess I was okay with how things ended up It was what I was predicting would happenI enjoyed that we got to see a lot of Greyson in this book I really enjoyed him and KittyThe ending was satisfying And overall it was a good conclusion to the series There were a few twists one that I knew was going to happen But most of my uestions were answered

  I'm so conflicted I spent almost the entire book rolling my eyes getting mad and even kind of yelling at it It was repetitive and I felt like the story was going nowhere; the same things just kept happening over and over again Kitty annoyed me I was kind of only here for Knox and Greyson Then a few chapters from the end I started to feel things and I was really excited to see how everything was going to play out But like I said that was only a few chapters from the end so the majority of my time reading was spent being annoyed It was a very uick read for me and I'm happy I now have closure with the story but it wasn't my favorite One other thing that drove me nuts gets to go under spoiler tagsview spoilerHow can Kitty spend two books freaking out over Benjy and having in my eyes little romantic chemistry with Knox but then end up with Knox??? It's not even like I wanted Kitty with Benjy they bored me and I never really understood it but I don't get it with Knox either I feel like it was just done so there could be a love triangle and then Knox is obviously interesting and a fan favorite so that's where it landed I don't know I just think everyone would have done better by themselves at the end of the book hide spoiler
