Book Review: The Rogue Queen by Emily R. King

The Hundreth Queen Series, I'm at the third book and man, I remember reading the first book and getting sucked in.  And now, I'm totally slowly reading the rest of this series because I don't want it to end.  Let's get to the review of this book...

The Rogue Queen by Emily R. King

Despite the odds, Kalinda has survived it all: Marriage to a tyrant. Tournaments to the death. The forbidden power to rule fire. The icy touch of a demon.

That same demon now disguises itself as Rajah Tarek, Kalinda’s late husband and a man who has never stopped haunting her. Upon taking control of the palace and the army, the demon brands Kalinda and her companions as traitors to the empire. They flee across the sea, seeking haven in the Southern Isles.

In Lestari, Kalinda’s powers are not condemned, as they are in her land. Now free to use them to protect those she loves, Kalinda soon realizes that the demon has tainted her with a cold poison, rendering her fire uncontrollable. But the lack of control may be just what she needs to send the demon back to the darkest depths of the Void.

To take back the empire, Kalinda will ally with those she distrusts—and risk losing those most loyal to her—to defeat the demon and bring peace to a divided nation.

*********************************************

Emily brings us the third book in the The Hundreth Queen series and Oh Man, this series just gets better with each book, the story line gets better, the characters' development gets better, the world build is even better. EVERYTHING is better.  Seriously, if you haven't started this series yet, because you are not sure if you will like it, just read the first book and trust me, you will be hooked.

So, Kalinda is back in this book and after surviving a marriage to a tyrant and tournaments to her death now she literally has to fight for everyone.  She cannot think only about herself, even though it's really tempting, the world is not what it was when things started out for her.  The demon is destroying everything and everyone and he will not stop no matter what.  And Kalinda knows that she has to take back the empire and fight him even if it will cost losing what she loves the most.

I can't wait to see where the next book is going to bring us and Kalinda, where the whole story is going to go, how it will all end.  But I also don't want it do end, which is why I haven't read it yet lol.

Emily create this magical place that I don't want to leave and that I'm totally loving it...

I got a free copy of the book from NetGalley.

4 out of 5 stars for this one...bring on the last book!

XOXO,
