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

3.0

This is a well written story about a girl who has lived her whole life in a temple and even there been a bit of an outcast among her peers, going by to the king's palace to compete among his beautiful and savage queens. I thought the world building and the character development was good, but the book lacked an element of excitement that prevents it from being 5 stars. Also the instant attraction between the main characters was not well developed enough to make it really believable or satisfying. Same thing with a couple of the plot points. However, overall enjoyable, but would not read again.
