The King's 100

De: Karin Biggs

Narrado por: Olivia Barnes-Brett

Amazon number one new release in Teen Young Adult Romantic Mysteries and Thrillers.

Sixteen-year-old princess Piper Parish is a disappointment to the citizens of Capalon, a STEM-structured kingdom where innovation is valued above all. Her older sister, the queen, views Piper's tears during their parents' funeral as a weakness, not to mention her strange affinity for singing.

When Piper receives an anonymous note stating her mother is still alive and living in the enemy kingdom of Mondaria, Piper chooses to risk death and flees Capalon to prove, once and for all, that she's not just the queen's defective little sister.

Posing as a Mondarian citizen named Paris Marigold, Piper bumps into a cute black-haired boy named Ari, who encourages her to audition for the King's 100, an esteemed performance court of singers, magicians, and drummers. Piper lands a spot as a singer and dives head-first into a world of glittering dresses, girl-code, sugar, blackmail, and physical contact - all while taking direction from an evil maestro.

Under Mondarian law, Piper will be killed if her identity is revealed. But living a life without the freedom to love might actually be the most dangerous risk of all. The King's 100 is perfect for listeners who would love a mash-up of the Selection series, Cinder, and Glee!

Great story

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I was not sure if I was going to like this in the beginning, but I am glad I gave it a chance. I love how the story evolves with the characters. I am looking forward to the rest of the story.

KINGS 100

A DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT YOU WOULD IMAGINE. GREAT NARRATION! AND FUN TO LISTEN TO!

A wonderful listen

I’m normally not a fan of this genre but I had a recommendation that this book was something different. The story was very compelling and the characters were written so well that I couldn’t stop listening. I recommend this book to everyone, regardless of their age.

great read!

loved this book! I'd rexommend to anyone who needs a fun non-fiction read. narration/performance added so much to the story

I hope there is a sequel!

To start, I received a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

My review contains minor spoilers, you've been warned.

I loved this book. The narrator has a lovely voice and did an excellent performance. She kept a good pace and had distinct voices for the characters so it was easy to keep track of who was speaking.

The story is simple but unique. I honestly wanted the book to be longer (or even a duology) to get more world building because the author created a really interesting futuristic setting that has a lot of potential. The epilogue left it open ended for more books but I don't know if there will be more. I hope the will be!

The book has romance but really only kissing and reference to virginity so it's appropriate for a younger audience. The character does read romance novels that have smut but never goes into detail. There is also minimal use of swearing but it does happen like three or four times.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone who liked the lunar chronicles, the selection series, or the princess diaries. It's a quick read that is a lot of fun and I didn't want to put it down.

Also it has a happy ending, and I loved it. Very satisfying.

Kept me fully entrenched

An honest review in exchange for audiobook

Kept me fully entrenched from the beginning. Well written. The narrator did an excellent job.

Loved it

This was a good story. Piper Parish was a year old princess, Her parents died and her sister the Queen considered her grief a weakness. All her sister wanted was for Piper to accept her match. But after Piper receives a message stating that her mother is still alive and lives at the enemies palace in Mondaria. So Piper poses as Paris Marigold and goes to Mondaria in search of her mother. Her biggest hope is she will remain undiscovered because the punishment will mean death. Her journey to find answers is full of mystery & danger. Great story with awesome characters. Loved it

Hoping for a Book 2

I started listening to this one with my 14 year old daughter, a few hours in I decided to finish it without her because I was worried the romance was headed to more adult levels. There is some minor language (no actual f-bombs) but there are quite a few insinuations and areas where the intimacy looks like it will quickly take off -- however the author happily kept it clean and any activity behind closed doors. I would say PG13 or for the mature 14+ reader that likes romance with a touch of mystery and dystopian feel.

So, we really enjoyed the storyline with this book... It was predictable in many areas and then when you didn't expect it there would be a fun twist. The characters were fun and had good depth that really helped you connect with the story. It looks like the author is setting this up for a sequel and I would love to see where she is taking it.

The narrator did a great job and was a lot of fun to listen to. It's a personal preference thing but I liked it much better at 1.3x speed.

—I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Intrigue, Hint of Romance & Captivating Storyline

I just can't tell you how much I loved this story! There was intrigue, forbidden (PG) romance, and a captivating YA storyline that kept me coming back for more. I highly recommend this book, especially for fans of The Selection and that genre. I look forward to more from this author and narrator!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Love the characters, the narration was great, super entertaining! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook!
