The Cage by Megan Shepherd
4.0
Rating - 3.5
Take a seat children, I have a story to tell.
I am going to try and do my review in a different format this time. Might be a little easier for me.
So I picked this book up a couple days before the release, I do believe my local bookstore was getting sick of me. I was honestly stocking the store for when they got their deliveries and asking if they had it in yet. The Cage was one of my highly anticipated books of 2015.
The Good
- Cassian or "The Caretaker" I loved him throughout this whole book. His character was awesome.
- The setting/cage was so interesting, how all those different areas all mixed in together and how they melded and bent to cause everyone to always end up where they started.
- the idea of the book was unique and interesting
- the writing was beautiful, I flew through this book.
- ah the romance that built between Cora and Cassian. So much swooning.
- THAT TWIST, THAT GASP-TACULAR TWIST
Now the dreaded bad parts
- Everyone who had a POV in the book. Seriously, what the crap was Megan thinking with these characters. We have one very jealous, abusive type, one who sleeps with everyone and CORA OMG COULD YOU EVER LET CASSIAN SAY ANYTHING. I was so sick of the way that Cora would just CUT Cassian off every time he wanted to tell her the truth or anything. I wanted to slap her and be like CORA STFU AND LET THE MAN/ALIEN SPEAK DAMNIT!!!
- The escape plan or lack thereof. What was she going to do when she found the fail safe, really stupid Cora.
- Rolf and Nok, ridiculous. that is all
- REPRODUCE, if you have read this you know the ending WTF DID REPRODUCING HAVE TO DO WITH IT?!
- the puzzles and tokens, again what was the point?
- was the tundra not cold? A tiny summer dress and bare feet and not dying of hypothermia?
- WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO KISS?! Ok that is just something that made me upset haha
Overall I enjoyed the book, I did. I will be continuing on and I will probably be counting down the days too. I devoured this book and even with some tiny hiccups I couldn't stop reading it to figure out what was happening. I love Cassian.. need more Cassian. Can we have a book with Raffe from Angel Fall and Cassian.. Omg can I be in this book. *swoon*
