Publisher's summary

A half-android, half-human girl is accused of murder in Jess Rothenberg's tautly paced YA thriller, The Kingdom, perfect for fans of Westworld and The Lunar Chronicles.

"Wildly addictive and beautifully terrifying... Readers will leave this glittering theme park forgetting what is real and what is fairy tale." (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times-bestselling author of The Belles)

Welcome to the Kingdom…where "happily ever after" isn’t just a promise but a rule.

Glimmering like a jewel behind its gateway, The Kingdom™ is an immersive fantasy theme park where guests soar on virtual dragons, castles loom like giants, and bioengineered species - formerly extinct - roam free.

Ana is one of seven Fantasists, beautiful “princesses” engineered to make dreams come true. When she meets park employee Owen, Ana begins to experience emotions beyond her programming including, for the first time....love.

But the fairy tale becomes a nightmare when Ana is accused of murdering Owen, igniting the trial of the century. Through courtroom testimony, interviews, and Ana’s memories of Owen emerges a tale of love, lies, and cruelty - and what it truly means to be human.

I really enjoyed it

i enjoyed listening to this. I loved the narrator and the story. I love stories that deep dive into characters that are artifical and starting to become more human like.

I didn't know what to expect, and was blown away!

I downloaded this book after returning another that sounded interesting but was, unfortunately, disappointing. I hardly read the description of this, honestly just looked at the cover and thought it looked interesting. As the story opens up, the first chapter caught me completely by surprise. If you are interested in a futuristic murder mystery, this one is for you. Best described as "Disney, with a bit of murder mixed in". I absolutely recommend this title, and will continue to recommend it to friends and family. I want everyone to enjoy this book!
