King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard

King's Cage (Red Queen, #3)

by Victoria Aveyard

The highly anticipated new novel from New York Times number one bestselling author of RED QUEEN.

Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal.

Now a king, Maven continues weaving his web in an attempt to maintain control over his country - and his prisoner.

As Mare remains trapped in the palace, the remnants of the Red Rebellion continue organizing and expanding. As they prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows, Cal - the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart - will stop at nothing to bring her back.

In this breathless new novel from the bestselling author of the Red Queen series, blood will turn on blood and allegiances will be tested on every side. If the Lightning Girl's spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?

Read by Amanda Dolan, Adenrele Ojo and Erin Spencer

I think this'll be the end of the series for me. Although I loved Evangeline's point of view, Mare is infuriating. I get it, you've been caged (which technically you volunteered for) in a plush suite and have all your meals provided for you. Stop throwing your crockery against the wall. The crescendo ends in an apocalyptic weather battle that went on and on and on. And on. Kill off Mare, allow Evangeline to shine.
