Resumen del Editor

In the second book in The Hundredth Queen Series, Emily R. King once again follows a young warrior queen's rise to meet her destiny in a richly imagined world of sorcery and forbidden powers.

Though the tyrant rajah she was forced to marry is dead, Kalinda's troubles are far from over. A warlord has invaded the imperial city, and now she's in exile. But she isn't alone. Kalinda has the allegiance of Captain Deven Naik, her guard and beloved, imprisoned for treason and stripped of command. With the empire at war, their best hope is to find Prince Ashwin, the rajah's son, who has promised Deven's freedom on one condition: that Kalinda will fight and defeat three formidable opponents.

But as Kalinda's tournament strengths are once again challenged, so too is her relationship with Deven. While Deven fears her powers, Ashwin reveres them - as well as the courageous woman who wields them. Kalinda comes to regard Ashwin as the only man who can repair a warring world and finds herself torn between her allegiance to Deven and a newly found respect for the young prince.

With both the responsibility to protect her people and the fate of those she loves weighing heavily upon her, Kalinda is forced again to compete. She must test the limits of her fire powers and her hard-won wisdom. But will that be enough to unite the empire without sacrificing all she holds dear?

Almost as good as the first

This story did not go at all as I had expected, which I guess is a good thing. It did lack some of the fire, fear and passion of the first book but I still really enjoyed it. The ending was way to abrupt for my liking and I am anxious for the third book!

Great

This is an amazing continuation of the hundredth queen. The only complaint I have is the two readers should agree on a pronunciation. Several names were pronounced much differently by each reader. Other than that, amazing!

An enjoyable listen

This is my first time listening through this series and I am hooked. It’s a fun and easy fantasy read with a unique storyline.

There is one thing that I don’t like: the narration. Both voice actors are great on their own, but they each pronounce words—names, places, etc.—differently, which periodically prevents you from being absorbed into the story. Not enough to make me stop listening, but such a shame that a seemingly avoidable error had occurred.

exciting series

I am hooked on this story. It is a suspenseful story that leaves you wondering what will happen next.

Fire queen

Every bit as exiting as the first book, the end leaving you wanting more of the battle

love it

love it can't wait for book 3 the first two was alsome can't wait for the next

A must read

One of the best books I've read in a while. Must read the Trilogy. I couldn't put it down

Good story

The female narrator is very good. I did not like the male narrator. He could not pronounce the names of the towns or the characters names properly.

Never boring

The Fire Queen starts out where book 1 left off. Kalinda and Devon continue to face terrifying odds with potentially dangerous consequences. The story is packed with deception, strife, loyalty, mystery, suspense, and pain. Enemies are around every corner. The narrator did a great job!

great read

Love this book my favorite part was the last battle it had me on the end of my seat
