"King's Cage" is the third installment in the "Red Queen" series and it's probably one of my favourite books in the series so far! In this one, we get a more etablished ship, the story progresses a lot better and the fact that there are different POV's helps readers understand better what's going on and how the sub-plots are unravelling.

Talking about different POV's, let me just say how much I hated the fact that Cameron had her own chapters! I do understand that it was important for the continuation of the story to know what was happening in the Scarlet Guard headquarters, but Aveyard could have a chosen a more suitable and likeable character, like Cal or Farley! Generally, Cameron is my least favourite character in the whole series, I find her very obnoxious and I could not wait for her own POV chapters to end!

Cal and Mare's relationship evolved a lot in this book, as they both realised what they meant to each other. To be honest, I'm still not very convinced about Cal's alliances, it's obvious that he's in love with Mare, but other than that, what? I believe that the ending of the book shed quite some light on his true intentions and I think in "War Storm" we will fully understand how Cal wishes to proceed regarding the Scarlet Guard and the Kingdom of Norta.

I am also very interested to see what will happen to Maven! Now that he's married to the princess of the Lakelands, the noose around his neck is even tighter and on top of that, he lost Mare in the ambush, which is another blow for him. He's borderline crazy anyway and most of his actions in "King's Cage" were directed by obsession or insecurity about the crown, so I'm very curious to see what becomes of him!

All in all, this book is well written and helps with the plot a lot. It didn't bore me at all and if anything, made me even more excited about the final book in the series!
