Book review: “The Black Key”

The Black Key by Amy Ewing

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The final book in The Lone City trilogy, this didn’t disappoint! A satisfying end to a very imaginative series about the trod-upon taking down the oligarchy, complete with royalty, romance, and magic.

As with any trilogy, this final book delivered some surprising losses, some climatic stand-offs, and much-beloved characters rising up to realize their full potential. Very much recommend this series to fans of YA, especially series with fantasy or dystopian bends. Agree with the original summary I read that framed this series as “The Selection” meets “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Riveting to the last page!
