Dinah wants to be queen. She NEEDS to be queen, but In order to get her crown from the tyrant she thought was her father, she must fight everyone, including herself.
In this conclusion to The Queen of Hearts trilogy, I was not disappointed. Colleen Oakes has further outdone herself with the continuing magic that created Wonderland and the characters that occupy it. I started this book and could not put it down until I was finished.
Dinah’s internal struggles, her conquest of her puppet masters, and her stepping into her true place are things many young women can identify with. Though it is a fantasy novel, its ability to connect with readers through Dinah holds it above YA realism with similar themes.
