Maven once again saved this horrible abomination.

Tell me why does Mare end up with Cal? He chose THRONE over HER TWICE!!! If a man does that he should be glad he doesn't have red mark on his face from my hand

I have been blazing through this series and for good reason, it's enjoyable and has decent word-building.

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

only villans are portrayed as being LGBT

.

But it's still worth a read and it's a highly enjoyable one too!
