The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King
4.0
Highly enjoyable, fast-paced, with twists and turns and intrigue aplenty! This novel follows Kalinda, an orphan raised in the secluded temple in the mountains, who is taken from her home in order to be the 100th wife of Rajah Tarek. While at court, she must not only navigate her new role, but also the mysteries and intrigue that threaten not just her position, but her life!
Kalinda was a fantastic character, and I loved the development of her strength and power as the story went on, as well as the characters surrounding her who are so important to the rising resistance in the story. This story hints at the series to come well, and builds towards a more epic series nicely, while still feeling like this story has some elements of closure within the novel. The only thing that I found less believable was the love story aspect, which was ok, but felt underdeveloped to me.
