dianemagnin 's review for:
The Hundredth Queen
by Emily R. King
2.25/5.
This was a fast and easy read. I enjoyed the magic system and the themes of friendship and sisterhood. I appreciate that the author doesn't shy away from fight scenes (that I enjoyed) and death (that caught me off guard). The way all the storylines weaved together was gripping, but a little cliche. Devan's mother was a very interesting character.
The cons: insta-love (two dumb people fall "in love" despite it being a horrible idea and bad timing), mean-girl trope + clumsy redemption, everyone is secretly related trope, missed opportunity for more developed female characters with individual traits especially since there are 100 wives and over 200 courtesans in the book.
The audiobook narrator was really good, though, and really helped the story along.
