The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King

5.0

This book has been on my shelf for a long, long time, and I quickly found myself immersed in it. The world building and characters are great, with Kalinda being a powerful and easy to relate to girl who is both out of her depth yet strong. There were plenty of excellent action scenes and some tender romance moments.

While I do wish there had been a little more space between certain plot points and the romance didn't rush as quickly as it did, I truly loved everything else I read. The plot and story were solid, the characters understandable and complex, even the villains, and the side characters were wonderful. I really enjoyed every character's development and the drama that unfolded near the end.

I really loved the magic and the way it connected to Kalinda and her backstory. She truly is a wonderful character and I look forward to seeing her grow and advance in later books, since she is such a powerful figure by the end.

This book was definitely worth the wait and I look forward to seeing it, and Kalinda, carry on!
