Ugh!! Guys, we have to wait ANOTHER year for the next book in the series. Aaaand then it's all over. Four books, that's all we get for this series. Part of me is like I need it right freaking now! But then the other part of me is like if I have it now then it will be over. I don't want it to be over!!! So you see my dilemma. 
 (view spoiler)[King's Cage starts off almost exactly after Glass Sword ends. I think it may be a few weeks after. Mare is captured and is kept in a room with a silent stone shower and silent stone manacles. Maven is king. Farley is pregnant with Shade's baby. Cameron is still trying to get her brother back. The Scarlet Guard is getting stronger than ever, recruiting all the Newbloods they can, while Maven is making them out to be terrorists. Oh and how could I ever forget Tiberias "Cal" Calore VII?! Well he of course is still with the Scarlet Guard, love sick over Mare, trying to free her. Literally his whole goal throughout the book is Mare and her freedom. 
 I would say 70% of the book involved Mare as Maven's prisoner. Obviously we don't want that, 'cause you know, Maven is evil. The thing is though, with Mare being a prisoner, we got a lot of insight into Maven and his childhood and why he is the way he is. Even though he has done terrible, horrible, unforgivable deeds, you cannot help but feel sorry for the poor bastard. His mother, I'm sure she loved him, but she loved him for what she made him into. She literally tortured him. It just makes so much more sense why he is the way he is. The only way to make sure his thoughts were his own was if he sat on his throne, made of silent stone. Now I'm in a king's cage. But so is he. My chains are silent stone, his is the crown. It was interesting to get more into Maven's past even though the way we saw it was by Mare's expense. 
 There were three different point of view's in King's Cage; Mare (obviously), Cameron, and Evangeline. I wasn't quite sure if this was going to work, as the previous two books were both in Mare's point of view only. However, I think that the three point of views worked out very nicely. I quite honestly loved all the points of views. Cameron's was always hilarious, she was so snarky! When I first found out we were going to have Evangeline's point of view, I was mad. Evangeline is such a bitch and I had no desire to see the world from her eyes. She was just so mean and I had been conditioned to hate her from the two previous books. But we got her point of view and boom all of a sudden I loved her. She is seriously a strong female character and has a bad ass princess attitude, which fits because she ends up being a princess. And of course there is Mare's point of view, really do I need to say more than that? You either love her or hate her, there is no in between. For me, well I love Mare. 
 The ending killed me! The Scarlet Guard finally gets Mare back, Cal and her reunite and it's BEAUTIFUL. But alas this joy cannot last for long. The Scarlet Guard along with Cal go to kill Maven once and for all. After a long fought battle involving the Scarlet Guard and Maven's army, the Silver Elite, the Scarlet Guard finally get into the castle; Maven has escaped. We are left with both sides meeting to discuss what the future holds, how destroying Maven will come about, and declaring Cal as king of Norta. Mare is not too pleased and asks him to choose her. To stand in front of the person who is your whole world and be told you are not enough. You are not the choice. You are a shadow to the person who is your sun. 
 And that's what we are left with. That's the end. Miss Victoria Aveyard, Mare and Cal best be together at the end of this series. That's all I'm going to say. 
 Anyway, what I really love about Victoria's books are that the characters are all very diverse with different opinions, behaviors, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation. *cough* Evangeline and Maven *cough cough* I believe she has always made it a point to be diverse with her characters and I really appreciate and enjoy that about her writing.

 I really enjoyed this book. There was a part that was a little slow but that only lasted about 60 pages or so. Once I got passed those pages, I literally devoured the book. Read it practically in one sitting. It was so good!!! Everyone pick up this series and read it right now! A hard 4 stars! 
 HAPPY READINGS!!!
