The Black Key by Amy Ewing
4.0
The Black Key was the last book in The Long City series. It also picked up right where the second book, The White Rose, left us with the cliffhanger. It shows us Violet trying to find and save her sister Hazel at any cost. However, she was also a huge influence to the rebellion because she was one of the leaders - but family will always come first to her.
I really liked how the story unfolded and how this book ultimately ended this pretty amazing series. It was a pretty quick read and was very hard to put down or walk away from. I just wanted to see how everything was going to play out. Plus, I really wanted to see if I would like it or not.
I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to see some people's point of view - like, Lucian, Raven, or Ash's because sometimes I just wanted to see what was happening outside of the Jewel. This was due to the fact that Violet was mostly cut off from most of the rebellion groups because of her position and cause. So I was constantly looking and waiting for someone else's POV to show up so I could get the whole picture of everything happening.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can totally see myself rereading this series next year. Now I see myself trying to find the novellas online (for free) so I can read them and see what those little gems have to offer.
