Short review before writing longer, full-of-rants one.... probably next week end? 
 With all its flaws and teen-drama antics, Red Queen (book 1) is much better, in my opinion. The romance dodecahedron that I enjoyed in Red Queen turned into a tumor that is just BEGGING to be chemo-ed here. 
 I will still read King's Cage because one does not simply discontinue reading a series.
