The Kingdom Zusammenfassung

The Kingdom Jess Rothenberg

Welcome to the Kingdom, a dazzling fantasy theme park where happily ever after is not just a promise, but a rule. Home to genetically engineered F.E.S. (formerly extinct species) that roam the park, the park employs cutting-edge technology to make dreams come alive. Ana is one of seven beautiful Fantasists-half-human, half-android princesses whose only purpose is to entertain Kingdom visitors. Counter to her programming, she begins to experience emotions and feelings . . . even allowing herself to fall in love for the first time. But the fairy-tale ends when Ana is accused of murder. Told through court testimony, interrogations, and lush flashbacks, The Kingdom blends the futuristic appeal of Westworld with the twists and turns of a true-crime thriller.

The Kingdom Bewertungen

Wildly addictive and beautifully terrifying... Readers will leave this glittering theme park forgetting what is real.--Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles Reading The Kingdom feels like a dark treasure hunt. Rothenberg interweaves profound existential questions with breakneck twists and turns to create a story that's both unputdownable and unforgettable.--Sara Holland, New York Times-bestselling author of Everless Rothenberg presents a thought-provoking anti-fairy tale.--Publishers Weekly This sublime blend of The Stepford Wives and Westworld is richly composed and intricately plotted.--Kirkus Reviews Through flashbacks, trial transcripts, and evidence exhibits, Ana's story, and greater revelations about the world around her, unfold in tantalizing pieces. A layered and fast-paced mystery with an ethical backbone.--Booklist The Kingdom is essentially Disney on steroids, and Rothenberg brings the idea of a place built on fantasy to its inevitable conclusion: what happens when those fantasies aren't so nice, and at whose cost are those fantasies fulfilled?--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This highly accessible title is recommended to both science fiction fans and teens who don't normally read in this genre, and to readers who enjoyed titles such as Lauren Oliver's Replica and S.J. Kincaid's The Diabolic.--School Library Journal
