I received this book from the author/publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This YA novel about Bel, a girl that dreams of flying but something happens that changes everything in her life.

This was a really interesting concept, with the potential to explore a unique idea about fighter pilots in space.The story is mainly about a seventeen year old girl who wants nothing but to become a flyer like her older brothers. Born on the fringes of royalty however Bel is still being trained to be a princess. One day Bel manages to talk her governess into letting her take her Wasp out on a flight and while Bel is gone her city is attacked. She is then forced to make big changes in her life that she never imagined.

I really liked the main character in this story, she has a strength and determination about her established early on. The story really took a shape of its own. There is creativity to the world and plenty of action all throughout. A few things along the way really surprised me.

This will surely be good for fans of The Selection. It's action packed, driven by romance, and just an all around fun time.

It has it flaws and there are several kinks that Thorne will have likely sorted out in the sequel. While it worked for me, despite said flaws, I will say you if you don't like love triangle I would not recommend The Queen's Wing.

I love them, and thought this story was quite sweet. I did find myself hoping for a little more development and could certainly see why it might feel rushed for others.

I honestly really enjoyed this book. The love interest was a little foggy but turned out to be very sweet. I will say I'm disappointed with the way book 2 is going to be about because I feel like there could have been more to this story. However I look forward to reading the next book even though it seems to be on a different person in the story.
