That being said while the Red Queen series didn't suffer from the second book syndrome in Glass Swors, King's Cage DEFINITELY suffered. There were multiple times were I suffered from what I call a reader's block, where I can pinpoint the part in the story where the author works themselves into a corner and desperately tries to claw out of it.
Secondly, where I feel Glass Sword makes up for lack of representation in Red Queen, I feel like King's Cage takes a few steps back seeing as
But it's still worth a read and it's a highly enjoyable one too!

As the third installment of the Red Queen series, we finally discover the reason why Maven is the way he is (cool motive, still murder) and we get to see just how resourceful Mare Barrow is. We also see get a look into what Evangeline Samos really thinks.
Despite how absolutely morbid it is, I think this is my favorite book in the Red Queen series

The plot has some complexity, though it annoys me that a lot of the reasoning behind certain events is because the villain has this weird obsession with the main character that also perhaps could have been explained differently.
