Did I enjoy this book? I really enjoyed this book series. King’s Cage is the 3rd book in a 4-book series, and so it suffers from being right in the middle of the plot. There isn’t a ton of excitement like in the first two books, and there isn’t a satisfying ending since it isn’t the last book. Unfortunately, this book just continues the story. It’s a good story, though!

 

 

Would I recommend it? Obviously, I would only recommend this book if you have read the first two. If you’ve started the series, keep going! It’s totally worth it!

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: In this breathless third installment to Victoria Aveyard’s bestselling Red Queen series, allegiances are tested on every side. And when the Lightning Girl’s spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?

Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven Calore continues weaving his dead mother’s web in an attempt to maintain control over his country—and his prisoner.

As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare’s heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.

When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire—leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down.
