Good beginning
I enjoyed the story. The bad guy is made out to be so bad it is easy to despise him. Kali is a good narrator. You can understand her decisions. I would like to know what happens to the characters and may pick up the next book.

I got it free. I kept waiting to start liking it, but even when there was triumph, it was a let down.
Good premise but didn’t do enough with it. Too much oppression and subservience to be likeable. She should have blasted his ass sooner
This book was very imaginative! Though parts of the romantic storyline were super predictable, the overall concept was superb. I definitely relate to the main characters struggle between the path she wants to take and the path she knows she SHOULD take. I really enjoyed it (clearly, since I read most of the book in a day). I can't wait for the next book to be released!
Intriguing. Slow start that builds and builds and BUILDS.
Wasn't sold on the love story...but that's pretty secondary anyway. I'm hoping things will go another way in book two, but that's me.
I was really on the edge of my seat there at the end, and I didn't see the twist. I feel like I should have. LOL.

Meh. An OK story, but nothing to write home about.
A little predictable but not bad. For $2.99, you get what you pay for. It's the first in a series, I may continue with it.
I should have read the “comparable to The Wrath and the Dawn” and realized this book wouldn’t have been for me. Don’t get me wrong, the writing was good enough and the world is pretty interesting, but the story and the characters were just not hitting the spot for me.
Kali is our main girl here and she Rajah (Tarek) comes and claims her as his hundredth wife after seeing her fight (because that’s all you need to know in a wife. And also, why do you have 100 wives?). Then he expects her to fight the other wives for the spot of first wife? I mean, I guess if it’s super important to you to get your offspring to the thrown this would be important, but like... why are there so many wives and why aren’t they going after him for dreaming this whole thing out?
And, let us not forget the whole “instalove” that happens with not-the-Rajah.
Since I got the ARC for the second book, I’ll go ahead and read it but I am not going into it with a hopeful spirit.

With the potential to be more than just cute and fantastical, The Hundredth Queen was an intriguing story with a very interesting new world.
I began the story really caring about the relationship between Jaya and Kalinda. I wanted to believe in a story of friendship and love. I wanted to watch the development of the story, but I couldn't bring myself to even care about the one dimensional characters. I didn't cry at the end because there wasn't enough depth to the characters to really mourn the ones who don't make it.
A huge revelation at the end did nothing for my enjoyment of the novel. I am hoping that the second novel will make up for it.
