‘Queen Of Volts’ by Amanda Foody is the final instalment of a trilogy. Now, I didn’t realise this when I requested the ARC, so have only read this book. I needn’t have worried about jumping in a trilogy. The author has cleverly provided enough information to fill anyone in if they make the same mistake! There is an awful lot of worldbuilding and characters in the book, but boy, I was in there immediately.
The characters, and many of them there were are all as interesting as each other, they each bring their personalities good, or bad and enhance the story.
The author has managed to blend a few genres together to create this trilogy and, I have certainly found it blends successfully. It’s urban, blended with dark fantasy and the world-building was excellent. We hear the story from at least five different points of view so we can get into the nitty-gritty and feel actually involved, instead of standing on the outside looking in. I always prefer when a book drags me totally into that world and I easily lose three hours, the best feeling ever and I experienced that with Queen Of Volts.
I think it is a Young Adult book that will appeal to all ages (I am so far away from a young adult I am proof it will!). A gripping and very entertaining book. I’m off to find the other two now!
Thanks to Sian Wilkins at Harper Collins and NetGalley for the copy of the book to write my review.
