Which brings me to my favorite part of The Kingdom – its exploration of humanity. Knowing where the train is heading, we see the chips in the armor, the cracks from smaller incidents that led to the tsunami. It’s like witnessing a car crash in reverse. The events leading up to the trial are slowly revealed through Ana’s memories or her interviews. The Kingdom is told through transcripts and time jumps which gives the readers a unique feeling as the countdown to the trial. The mystery of who murdered Owen pulls you through the entire book and what ends up occurring is that the reader begins to wonder what how human Ana is. It is full of mystery and ominous vibes that completely captivate you, but where The Kingdom really shines is its discussion of humanity and agency. The Kingdom is like a combination of some of my favorite tv shows, “Westworld” and “Dollhouse”. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
