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 … 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.

The Rogue Queen is the third book in The Hundredth Queen series.
I was hoping that this was the last book in the series since my attraction to this series was starting to dwindle. But of course, the series will have another book coming out around August 2018.
The story is about Kalinda and her group trying to find a way to destroy the demon disguised as Rajah Tarek. New alliances are made and old dangers reappear. Add Kalinda’s corrupted powers into the mix, and things get even more complicated.
Overall, I enjoyed the story…. but this series has lost some of the sparkle. The romance was a bit bland and the characters just became boring. Some of the scenes were just a drag to read, and I wanted to stop reading it entirely. I really hope The Warrior Queen turns things around.
The Rogue Queen by Emily R. King – I won the first and third books in this series, and I think I fell in love with the covers to start. Loved the world building in this series! Lots of action in this one! I think these get better as we go! Happy Reading!
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!
This journey was well-written and the way the author weaves in the world-building is exceptionally done.
The Rougue Queen is the third story in The Hundredth Queen series. I loved the first book. The main character, Kalinda was strong and grew into herself and her powers. This book begins where the second left off, our main characters Kalinda, Ashwin, Devin and company are traveling to the south isles where they can regroup and plan an attack to take back their empire and get rid of the demon Udug. I felt this story dragged. It felt like one step forward and two steps back. It took too long to come to the point. This series was originally meant to be a trilogy book and I must say mid-book I was looking forward to the conclusion. Unfortunately, Emily R. King has decided to extend to at least a fourth book and left this third book unfinished at the end. I am unsure if I will read the next story.
