I just wasn’t invested in the story that much and kept on picking up the other books I was reading.
The Hundredth Queen is an easy YA romantic fantasy read. While a fun book it was cliché and very predictable, with insta-love. While fast paced and darker than I was expecting, I wanted more world building.
Kali is naïve and curious but has an inner rebelliousness who is willing to fight injustice. Deven is projective but is also torn with his loyalties which lead him to appear indecisive. I really liked the friendship between Kali and Jaya as they looked out for each other and did all they could to protect each other.
I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next book The Fire Queen to discover what happens next. I would recommend The Hundredth Queen to those who enjoyed Threats of Sky and Sea and Fire and Thorns.

Im between a 3 and a 4
I loved the Indian Flavour to it and the world......
Kalinda was courageous and strong I liked her alot as a lead character.... I wish Devon has a little more substance though, i felt he was a little like a light switch going on and off.....
The story had alot of depth and description, and built the world brilliantly for a first book to the series
I did feel major events were just kind of thrown at you like.. ok there is that.. without much build up, and there were alot of reveals and alot of secrets kept for no real reason...
Still i look forward to the second book and where the next adventure will lead the characters

This is a well written story about a girl who has lived her whole life in a temple and even there been a bit of an outcast among her peers, going by to the king's palace to compete among his beautiful and savage queens. I thought the world building and the character development was good, but the book lacked an element of excitement that prevents it from being 5 stars. Also the instant attraction between the main characters was not well developed enough to make it really believable or satisfying. Same thing with a couple of the plot points. However, overall enjoyable, but would not read again.
As soon as I saw the cover of The Hundredth Queen, I knew I had to get my hands on it. It also didn’t hurt that the synopsis had me hooked from the very first sentence. It gave me a bit of The Wrath and the Dawn and Rebel of the Sands feels so when I was able to snag an ARC from a trade, I was pretty excited to say the least.
Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations.
I really like the concept of the story and there is so much promise but I just think it was poorly executed. And if I’m being honest, I found it to be boring for the most part.

3 1/2 Stars
This book was way too predictable. Without spoiling too much, the plot twists were not unexpected. The characters behaved in a very predictable way so when a crisis arrived, there was no surprise. The middle also dragged.

I don't know what it was that hooked me, but I could not put this down. Looking forward to the rest of the series
