The King’s 100 - my review
The King's 100 was exactly what I expected and I love it that much for that. Perfect for young readers and fans of Meg Cabot. The King's 100 follows Princess Piper, a Capalon, who sneaks in to the enemy country of Mondaria to find any traces of her mother who mysteriously perished years before. There she auditions to become part of the King's 100, an acting and entertainment group based in the King's court.
It is really cute to see Piper explore the enemy kingdom and her own feelings. As a stem-focused country, Capalon puts emphasis on science and tries to remove emotion from every decision. So when Piper begins to feels the strings of love or jealousy, she shies away from these emotions and tries to focus on her goal of finding out more about the long lost queen.
This was a super quick and easy read. I can easily see this becoming a script for a Disney movie or an ABC Family show—it's light, it's fun, and it has a strong female lead. The ending did leave some things unresolved so I'm sure there will be a sequel that follows.
I received a digital ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Immortal Works Press!
