Also certain readers complaining about Mare being traumatized by literally being tortured by silent stone everyday have absolutely no empathy. She was still imprisoned and tortured in multiple ways psychologically and physically but I guess since she had a nice bed then she shouldn’t complain?! Like chill people. Absolutely insane.

This was my first time reading Kings Cage, as the last time I tried reading this series I stopped at the end of Glass Sword. I am SO happy I tried the series again.
As an audiobook I really like it! It’s engaging and the people narrating do a great job. The downfall of an audio book for me is that I really only remember big moments that held my attention. Probably my fault though because I listen to it at work.
The story and the different perspectives were interesting to see. (Though I’m most intrigued to read something from Mavens POV)
Mare goes on quite the journey in this one and the ending was a bit unexpected to me. I’m really excited to get into the final book and hope to do so soon!❤️
(Also it only took me this long because I ran out of Spotify listening hours for a bit then found out I could listen to it on YouTube🤭)

I didn’t think her torture was as dramatic as it should’ve been.
The twist towards the middle and end was interesting but it needed more. As it stands, this book did not need to be 500 pages.
Also wtf was that weird bathroom scene

I did however enjoy the multiple povs to get a break from constant Mare and an insight into other characters.
In general I feel like this book could’ve told the same story in a lot less pages so I’m slightly worried for War Storm bc imo as these books get bulkier the pace slows down.
Overall I still enjoyed this book, still gonna finish the series (at some point) , just didn’t enjoy it that much compared to the first books. I have hopes it’ll pick up again tho.
I still recommend this series to people who are into dystopian ya fantasy politics all that stuff.
A lot of gore, murder and mentions of trauma/ptsd tho so don’t read if you’re sensitive to that 👍
