“Somewhere in the distance, somewhere in my bones, thunder rolls.” If Red Queen is a game of charade and Glass Sword a game changer, then King's Cage is a combination of both books, but on a whole other level. Manipulation, war, survival, and politics. No longer a round of hide and seek on a playground, but a chessboard where powerful masterminds control kings and many, many pawns to fight for the trophy, the throne of Norta. Mare Barrow goes through her biggest character development yet. She grows so much, despite her trauma. She has been put through hell, but she doesn't let herself get sucked into the void. She still loves and doesn't lose hope. I loved the fact that she is portrayed in fear lots of time, her fear brings out her deepest survival instincts, giving her a shot of winning the battle against her enemies. She fights with her mind and with her body to not become trapped in a prison, mentally and physically. And Cal the romantic, strong, intelligent, caring, naive, hot, intense, good silver Prince. His hope for Maven is crushing. His friendship with Kilorn warms my heart. But hell he's still Prince Tiberias the Seventh and his identity bites everyone in the ass, especially himself. And he can be an idiot at times! But the romance between him and Mare melted my heart. The mutual support, the understanding, the goofiness, the sexiness, the courage to break stereotypes. And can we talk about the flawless construction of Evangeline Samos? She is still a quintessential bitch. But I adored how she evolved from a queen-wannabe that has only arrogance, ambition and jealousy as main traits to a deeply intriguing, multi-layered anti-heroine. We get her POV as well, not to see from a different perspective, but to offer even more glimpses into a universe governed by politics, secrets, manipulation, and power.
