Publisher's summary

In the explosive third volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, the queen of fire faces off against a demon of ice.

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.

Don't be put off at a big 3 book sereis

Where does The Rogue Queen rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really haven't read many Audi Books as I am new to this kind of reading....but....of the 4 I have read this series would be #2 in rank. There were times when the story was too detailed, too long, but what can one expect in a 3 book Novel ?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Well, the Rogue Queen of course !

What does Lauren Ezzo and Scott Merriman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They brought a believably to this reading because the female voices were actually a female and the same with men's parts. It makes me crazy when a male is narrating, and the pitch of the voice change is barely noticeable. It gets very confusing at times.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh heavens no, not all at once ! We are talking about 21 hours here. I do suggest it a wonderful length to do Art by though. I love to sketch and this lengthy story is perfect for that. If you have a quiet Hobby of any kind, this is a wonderful adventure to have in the background.

Any additional comments?

This whole book series is not a historical drama, it is totally a Fantasy world that you are invited to join.

I am wordless

This was hard to finish only because I knew what comes in the end. Still, it was enjoyable as all the others have been. I am curious to see what happens next so I will definitely listen to the next recording. It was a little slow in some places but overall, not bad.

Brace Yourself - No Spoilers.

Once again, Emily King proves her mastery of world-building and story-crafting. I don't want to elaborate too much for obvious reasons, but I can promise you that this book will make you feel a spectrum of emotion few books can cultivate. I cannot wait for the next one!

GREAT READ OR LISTEN!

All of the books on this series are GREAT! I am looking forward to the next one! I am invested in all of the characters!

One of my favorites!

fabulous darling

I have loved all of the books in this series and can't wait to listen to the 4th one!

Excellent series

Very good books with unexpected twists and turns that kept me riveted through every book! Loved them

Interesting and entertaining series.

I enjoy rereading this whole series. It is a series I come back to you. Over and over again.

Awesome series!

I love this series! Book 3 just got better and better, and I can’t wait to read the final book in this series. The characters to plot the storyline everything was amazing! I can’t wait to find more books by this author.

A bit too lingering at times...

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I say that in all truth. However, I did feel at time that the story started to meander in directions that were unnecessary. Perhaps the purpose of the tangential pieces will be revealed in the last book, which I will definitely read!
