The Hundredth Queen
by Emily R. King
Full Review at loganashleyleduc.com
Though this book was a really interesting read, it wasn't one I'd be looking to read again.
I was really hopeful based on the synopsis of this book, which featured plenty of information regarding the bad-ass female this book is supposed to be about. Unfortunately, I was definitely disappointed.
Kalinda was a great main character and I really loved her. I thought it was so interesting to see what happened to her through her journey as she left the temple and began her journey to living and becoming the 100th wife of the Rajah. I was disappointed when the story took a turn and instead of focusing on how bad-ass and persistent Kalinda was with her goals, it turned instead to the romantic aspect as she began to fall in love. It wasn't just about dying for women's rights anymore. It became about dying for love which wasn't what I was expecting based on the synopsis.
I was underwhelmed by this book and though I really enjoyed the plot overall, I felt the writing could definitely use some work. It was choppy, and often times I severely questioned whether this was actually a title written for YA readers or if it should be adjusted to be an adult genre piece.
I'd probably read something else and just skip this one if I could go back in time.
