In the final volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, Kalinda will risk everything to save the man she loves.
Kalinda has brought peace to the Tarachand Empire, at least for now. Bhutas no longer need to hide their gifts. The last of the rebels have been banished. And Prince Ashwin is set to take over as rajah.
But for Kalinda, this all came at a great loss. Her childhood home. Her best friend. The love of her life.
Deven is still trapped in the Void, although he is able to find his way to Kalinda each night. He has been lucky so far — mortals are not meant to last in the Void for long, and Deven has lasted longer than most. But when he doesn’t visit her one night, Kalinda knows that his luck has run out.
She will do whatever it takes to save the man she loves, even if it means convincing a god to guide her through the Void. Freeing a mortal from the Void is nearly impossible, but Kalinda has never let those odds stop her before.
______________________________
Kalinda must embark on yet another dangerous journey to save the soul of the man she loves. Maybe it is just me, but she seems to lack a bit of the spark of the previous books. This feeling is due in part to her unrest regarding Deven's fate; however, Kalinda has changed since the end of the last book--losing Deven despite helping to bring a tepid peace to the Tarachand Empire. Part of the trouble is her finding a new balance with her powers since losing a hand.
Nonetheless, Kalinda braves perils to save Deven from the Void while also coming to terms with her past lives. Overall, I enjoyed this final story but felt the ending was too wrapped up in some ways--a bit too happily ever after considering what we learned of Kalinda's past lives and connections. **SPOILER** For me, I was pleased Deven was saved, but I wanted more growth for their relationship.
I enjoyed the duel plot following Prince Ashwin as he learns to rule on his own.
Bottom line, a good series conclusion with plenty of action, adventure and romance. Plus a gorgeous cover!
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
