Summary
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!

Really good
This a fun, light and interesting YA story. It has action, mystery and romance. It has an interesting concept, and the characters are really teenagers, sometimes annoying, but mostly funny and sweet.
Olivia Barnes-Brett is an amazing narrator, really expressive and easy to understand.

Great YA sci-fi/romance crossover
The King’s 100 by Karin Biggs
Set in a world with multiple kingdoms. Capalon, seeming the most advanced in technology, is ruled by a young queen and is at loggerheads with its closest country, Mondaria, ready to go to war at the smallest of indiscretions. Piper, a sixteen-year-old princess of Capalon is convinced that her mother didn’t die in an accident and has been tipped off by an unknown source that her mother is well and being held captive by the Mondarian King. The problem is, Piper’s sister is the Queen and will not hear of it, or believe such rumours, advising Piper to ignore it and carry on her life, and even encouraging her to choose her match, to marry. Frustrated that no one is taking the news of her mother’s possible captivity seriously, Piper takes things into her own hands and escapes Capalon and journeys to the King's castle in Mondaria and becomes one of his 100, a singer to perform at events at the castle. As time goes by, Piper becomes convinced her mother is at the castle just being held out of arms reach. Whist at the castle Piper experiences so many new things including the luxury of having friends, talking to cute boys and trying the most delicious hot chocolate known to man. However, Piper needs to be careful and remember that she has a task to carry out, otherwise all might be lost. After all, she is a Capalon living in the Lion's Den.
This is a YA crossover between soft sci-fi and romance, a feel-good and fun read. That I feel YA fans will enjoy. I listened to the audio and have to say that the narrator did a fantastic job.

Amazing story - sweet and light
A very interesting dystopian/contemporary novel. I enjoyed the unique worldsetting, where the different kingdoms of Capalon and Mondaria are at war with each other and each kingdom values very different things.
The MC is a young princess, and her growth throughout the novel feels realistic and relateable - same with the relationships between all the characters. I really loved that Piper evolved so much during the novel - she learned to embrace her (very human) feelings, turning out to be great singer, and just overall coming into her self. She was feeling more as herself than she ever had before - even though she masqueraded under a false identity.
Overall a sweet and light read, recommended for anyone in need of something with a unique setting and feel-good vibes. I got caught and could hardly put it away until finished.
The narrator did an amazing job with this, every person and their different emotions are easily detected. Bravo!

Can’t wait for the next one
(Disclaimer: I received a review copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.) I was hooked by the story within the first few chapters and finished the whole novel within a weekend. I appreciated the effort the narrator took to create distinctive and developed voices for each character particularly in the conversations between Piper and the male characters. I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the series.
