The hundredth queen series reviews, Emily R King.


The Hundredth Queen 📖📖📖📖

I really enjoyed this book. The story was great, taking turns where I thought I knew what would happen, and with enough romance to get me through.
One thing I will say is the at times the language is a little clunky and doesn’t flow as well as it could, contractions are your friend, but that’s probably the only gripe I have.

Excited to read the rest of the series!

The Fire Queen (book 2) 📖📖📖

I have to say I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first. There were issues i had with the first one which I didn’t mind, but with this book I did. There are so many leaps the author makes and I just don’t see how they’re possible. I also felt like the tournament was a contrived way of adding tension, violence, and an attempt at a love triangle.
There were also times when I felt the Book was confused, particularly at the start and the author didn’t know where she wanted to go.
For me, the storyline was too similar to the first book, especially the second half where it was almost identical to the first. If you’re binge reading, or even reading them in order you need a little variety.
Again, I felt the language was clunky and the action scenes were stilted.

I’m still interested to see what happens in the series, but I’ll need a change up.

The Rogue Queen (book 3) 📖📖📖

I have so many mixed feelings about this book. I enjoy the series but I feel this book went backwards in a way. I felt the story was immature and the action was too simple. Everything came so easily.
In terms of characters, Kali annoyed the living daylights out of me. She could never decide what she wanted and so many random issues were brought up.
And the ending leading to the fourth book, so strange and obviously an attempt to prolong the series, I don't get it.

But like I said, I enjoy the series, even through its faults and will read until the end.

The Warrior Queen (book 4) 📖📖📖📖 - out August 14, 2018

I actually enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I said at the end of the last book I didn't see the point for this book, but it was good to see the rebuilding of the empire. 
I liked Kali in this book, but Ashwin got on my nerves. I also thought the order of the chapters was a little off. There were times when I wanted a certain pov but it didn't come.
I also thought some of the solutions came to easily, especially with Tinley and Ashwin at the end, as well as Kalinda's journey. There were inconsistencies with Enlil's battle as well. How did the public see inside the palace? And the Cala/Inanna/Kali/Deven/Enlil thing got a little confusing as well.

Nevertheless, this was a solid end to the series and I did enjoy it. A good light fantasy read if you're looking for something that isn't as involved as other full-on series.
