King's Cage (Red Queen)
By Victoria Aveyard
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.
Book Reviews (2)
This book is apart of the Red Queen series. Mare Barrow sacrificed herself so Cal and Kilorn could escape. Maven has taken her as his prisoner. Mare now has to play a role she is not again, and she has to place blame on the Scarlet Guard. However, she is determined to escape this cage. Overall, I enjoyed this book although the plot tended to be slow at times. You may as well read this if you are interested in knowing what happens by the end of the series. I recommend this book to people who are interested in dystopian novels, or people who are interested in The Selection series. I rate this 5/5.
