The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King
4.0

I feel like if RED QUEEN and REBEL OF THE SANDS had a book love child, this would be it.

I adored this book: the premise, the setting, the characters, the magic. It was predictable in the good way the "ordinary-girl-discovers-she-has-abilities" trope is done. The romance was quick to develop but I think that's more down to Kalinda's sheltered life. The rajah was a cruel, enjoyable antagonist, and the dynamic of the palace was highly tense.

This book had all the right twists and alliances. I could barely put it down!
