The King's 100 by Karin Biggs is hard to categorize because the beginning was a confusing mess. I thought they were on a spaceship for some weird reason because of how it was described because I have never met a lab where they did not have windows like I am sure that would be a fire hazard.
There are multiple holes in the story, and Piper helped with creating the holes.
I only continued reading because I loved Ari, Layla, Reese, and the rest of the gang. I only started to like Piper/Paris when she stopped talking like she was trying to be the next Sherlock Holmes or was competing to be a robot. She is human. I am happy to report, and the book became magical when she stopped thinking and just acted like doing a death-defying stunt because she wanted Ari to not kiss Heather or when she realized that Ari was the one for her. Or when she made that revelation in the end about her sister and a particular enemy.
That is another thing I do not fully understand, which I am hoping that if there is a second book, there will be more explanation as to why they are enemies and how old is ancient. Paris is an ancient city, but there is no explanation as to how far into the future we are in. Also, another little thing a real Romeo and Juliet vibe was going on with the kingdom names (Capalon and Mondaria), who are mortal enemies.
It is worth pushing through the beginning, though, and reading the book. I would be curious to read a second book if it came out.
4 out of 5 stars.
