King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard

2.0

---

I bought this book because whenever I start a book series I absolutely have to finish it, unless the first book was really awful. I read the first and second book in this series 2 years ago so maybe the prolonged period of time in between hazed my judgement a bit. Nonetheless, this book was... alright. The ending, of course no spoilers, was kind of disappointing. I struggled to find the climax of the story as the build up was long and same-ish, despite 3 points of views. I don't like being a negative Nancy so here are the things I enjoyed. The romance between Cal and Mare is infectious and I couldn't help smiling, Evangeline's character development was superb and I found myself drawn to her. Also, the aspects of LGBTQ+ were refreshing and pieced together why Evangeline was so cold and seemingly incapable of love towards Cal and Maven.
