A review by kristinjones28
The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King
3.0
3.5 stars.
This book started strong, the world building at the beginning was phenomenal, and the story was intriguing until about halfway through. The last half felt really sloppy and hastily written, like the author just had a deadline to meet. If there are books in this series, I don’t think I’d be invested enough to know what happens next. I found Kalinda uninspiring, and I didn’t see enough character growth to consider reading more about her. I also felt the relationship between her and other characters was very surface level, and I’m a simp for character development and the emotional connection between characters.
Overall, this was a great hook book, but a let down in the end.
Edit: I cannot believe there are four of these books. I wish the end of the first book hadn’t been such a bummer, because I think I could have really enjoyed this series.
