The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King
2.0
I had zero expectations for this book and yet I was still let down.
There’s instalove. The MC is bland as a cracker. There is no plot until the last 50 pages where she’s just kills everyone (even though she keeps saying how she wants peace). The plot twists weren’t even twisty and it was so obvious and cliche (although, lowkey incest from Tarek’s part, so that was fun). The MC has no agency whatsoever and just does what everyone tells her to do. Deven is also boring. Bunch of girl hate. 100+ women in the court and not one (1) is a lesbian. The only fun female characters were killed off.
Keeping it at two stars instead of one because the magic and world was okay and I guess? Original? But if I see one (1) other story like it I’m not going to feel guilty about bumping it down to one star.
