pickOkay... I literally never hear this book mentioned and I have no clue why it was so FREAKING GOOD! It was so much different then I thought it was going to be, I'm a huge fan of interview formats in books... no idea why but it was a pleasant surprise when I found it in here.
The very Disneyland meets Westworld, with the court case and murder mystery was just so much fun and all the sprinkling of fairytales throughout the story loved I it!
so-soThe cover of “The Kingdom” by Jess Rothenberg is why i picked this book up!
Yes, i admit🖐 the sparkles & shininess attracted me! I thought the idea of “Fantasists” was very interesting. As well as the switches of past & present.
But sadly it took a while to get into the story. Especially to the event that the description of the back cover is refering to!
For me a So So read!
pickI loved this book! A quick, fascinating read. In the age of more and more talk of artificial intelligence, I can‘t help but imagine some version of this story could be a future reality. Ana is a fascinating lead character, and her world and her relationships with her sisters, are equal parts intriguing and creepy. If you‘re a Disney fan like me, you are sure to enjoy this book!
pickThis was epic!
If you liked The Lunar Chronicles you will like this.
Not so happily ever after after all..
pick4/5⭐
This. I liked this. A very quick read, it keeps you wanting to read one more chapter before putting it down, but realizing how short the next chapter is makes you read another one, and so on. I flew through this! It was alright, I really liked this hybrid concept, first book I ever read with hybrids! This was the perfect book to recover from A Little Life 😅
Mindblowing
Humans are capable of such cruelty. Suck horror. And in order to become one...I've had to become capable of that, too.
They built the gateway because they love us. But what is it called, when you love a thing so much it hurts?
After all, how do you describe something you cannot see, hear, or touch? How do you describe something that isn't really there - not in any true, measurable sense?
Ana: You're smirking. What's so funny?
Dr Foster: I'll tell you in a minute. But first, there's one thing I haven't figured out.
Ana: I'm listening.
Dr Foster: what did you do with the body, Ana.
Face white as snow, skin as cold as frost, lips as blue as ice.
pickThis was a unique new idea and I loved this book. If your a fan of new ways of story telling, murder/mystery, amusement parks (think Disney), and technology this book is for you.
Catching up on some reading, whilst supporting my brother doing 'Race to the Stones'

Futuristic Disneyland, what else could I want? Definitely recommend it!
This is SO GOOD! I saw reviews saying it was a YA Westworld meets Disneyland, so true! Almost done with it and I highly recommend for sure.
pickIf you've seen Westworld, the concept is a tad similar. This is a YA fantasy+thriller and I promise you that you'll not be able to put it down. I read this for a readathon and I breezed through this book and was left wanting more of it. The Kingdom is basically like Disneyland but with cutting-edge tech to create a more authentic experience for its visitors..

It‘s a beautiful day for reading and sun bathing ☀️ 🐱 #catsoflitsy
“Where happily ever after isn‘t just a promise but a rule...” 👑 🏰 I‘m excited to read this book that‘s just dripping in sinister Disney vibes!
pickI loved this book! The idea of artificial intelligence and cyborgs set in a Disney-like park is engaging and a great addition to the fantasy genre. If you have watched HBO‘s Westworld, and enjoyed it, and you like young adult literature than you will enjoy this new work by Jess Rothenberg.
pickThat was interesting. The whole time I was reading it, it reminded me of a futuristic Disneyland gone wrong. The song, “it‘s a Small World” in a creepy tune was playing in my head. With that said, that‘s all good. This book is original and interesting and while I was pretty sure of the plot twist it didn‘t lessen the story.
The grandbaby and I had a book date, and these are what I got. I‘m pretty excited!!
Loving this so far. It‘s like a twisted Disneyland!
DANG I have a feeling I will be finishing this entire thing in one go. I‘m super intrigued after only 30 pages 🤯
pickI couldn‘t put this one down. Murder mystery meets corporate fantasy fairyland meets android princess!
