A review by cinahelina
The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King

4.0

There’s been a lot of buzz about The Hundredth Queen. And, usually, if there’s a lot of buzz, I’m typically disappointed in some shape or form. Lately, I’m been having the worst reading slump ever, and, unfortunately, the anticipated new releases have all been so-so mehs. I hoped The Hundredth Queen would be the one to pull me out of the meh book Hell, and it surprisingly did.

THQ is not by all means perfect, but it’s fast-paced and entertaining. And, for once, it has a romance that I like--though technically it is instalove. I really liked Kalinda, Jaya, and all the ladies. I’m curious about what will happen to the wives and courtesans in the next book and with Kalinda and Deven. I have a feeling that there might be a love triangle in the next book considering the two brothers (one like her and one not) and based on the wording of the synopsis.

Looking forward to The Fire Queen.
