RED QUEEN #3

King's Cage

by Victoria Aveyard

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ GLASS SWORD THEN I RECOMMEND YOU READ IT BEFORE READING THE SUMMARY OR THE REVIEW

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.

i loved loved loved this one honestly after glass sword i went into this book without much expectations because in glass sword you know how mare's character didn't seem like herself but holy crap this book was so much better there was so much political intrigue and what not totally loved it.(there maybe little spoilers in there i honestly don't know if i typed it) there was so much character development especially in mare like after the end of glass sword when mare became captive this book just starts off after that like right after that point and the way mare handles herself she is strong at all points like i didn't know this mare existed and didn't i love her for that her narration was so epic and maven...maven i just don't know what to say about him i mean i literally hate him but at the same time i am like he could have been the boy mare loved i mean we get to know as to why maven is the way he is his mother actually altered his brain turned his love for his brother into hate and what not i truly hate elara i hate hate hate her i hope she burns in hell for what she did to her own son.but i must say maven is a king through and through like he knows politics and knows that reds are essential for his reign and just the political intrigue in this was amazing.also i have a feeling that maven will die to redeem himself in the last book being like mare i always loved you even if my twisted mother tried to stop it .you know that she was a b****  okay maybe he wouldn't say this but ..whatever  cameron is our second main pov and honestly at first that she was a little whiny brat who just cares about herself but her pov's were truly helpful it brought into play what scarlet guard was doing and how cal can't make a single choice to be honest guys i feel like cal would make a horrible king like he is a great soldier and a trainer but a king ?hell no.he's not good for it coming back to cameron i feel that she is very much similar to mare she is trying to protect her brother and at one point she even goes to mare for advice and that was really nice. and evangeline?omg i never thought she would ever be a potential ally but there she was i feel like mare and evangeline could be best friends(ok that's too much who am i kidding) but serious her storyline played out to be something i never expected.also can i just mention that her mother made me gag some times? honestly guys this is the first book where i am not shipping the main character with anyone because after the ending i was just like you know what throw both these calore brothers out of the window they don't desrve my girl no one deserves my girl go away! the little refrences that victoria gave like caz.brekker and things like that made me so happy i was just smiling and saying i see what you did there victoria and i love you for it. all in all this was a graeat book there were so many epic battle scenes,so much political intrigue and character development that i totally loved it and let me tell you even if you didn't like glass sword you should read this because its just so dang good! also if you want to check this out i would be linking its pdf version and its amazon link down below in the comments it may take until tomorrow if this helps make sure you click the follow button as well as +1 button and don't forget to recommend me books because well i am always up for recommendations:)
