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

Once again I enjoyed the journey Victoria Aveyard took us on. Enjoyed following Mare, and the addition of Cameron and Evangeline’s perspective was fascinating! Will be reading the fourth book soon!!

I was gonna give this a 3.75, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I really love these books, but the sections where Evangeline or cam were narrator if three me off and felt slow at some parts. The ending threw me for A LOOP btw ❤️💔 (major rant in the spoiler)

The story between Cam and her brother was really touching and I loved that they saved him. Evangeline just was not doing it for me. I loved her and Cal training together because just💕💕💕 and also they got a little 🥵🥵 but there’s no details so don’t think that’s gonna happen or nun’. ALSO CAL AND MARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER WHEN REUNITED BECAUSE OF MERANDUS ALMOST DESTROYED ME but I’m so happy they were baes again😌 UNTIL THEY FREAKING WERENT?!?!!! Still emotionally recovering, might not ever get there

4.5

Ha, this book broke me.

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 writing flips between good and bad. A lot of the metaphors are repeated and the writer tends to drag out parts where characters are explaining their feelings in an attempt to give them more depth, but it reads as clunky and overdone. That being said, I still do enjoy some of the characters, possibly because we haven't had to hear them explain the same thing over and over again. The main characters have made too many stupid decisions and the love story part of it feels forced. The main character can't seem to decide whether she's a strong female protagonist or a simpering, helpless mess.
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.

The only thing this book did was make me like Maven more. Just kidding… kind of. The first half of it was very Maven focused and then the second half focused more on Mare and Cal, so I liked both of that. It did drag and didn’t really need to be that long. The ending was alright. I can tell who’s side I’m on as far as certain things go. I did enjoy all the battles and war planning stuff though.
