Reviews with content warning for Violence - Goldener Käfig

This might have been my least favorite book in the series. It was hard to get through Mare’s parts, it was so depressing. I understand that it is a huge part of the plot and it helps bring attention to what’s happening to her as well as in Norton but I’ve never been a huge fan of these types of scenes. Especially since she was imprisoned for more than half the book.

I really enjoyed Evangeline’s POV and wish that we got more of her. I felt so much passion from her character and her experiences growing up as a royal silver and transitioning hate her state. I loved seeing Norton from her perspective. It felt more genuine that Mare’s, who is just obsessed with Maven.

I also enjoyed Camren’s POV. I respect her character so much and her internal struggle of wanting to officially join the Scarlet Guard or find safety with her brother once they rescue him. I found her POV to be so funny, when she describes other characters that we’ve previously seen through Mare’s perspective.

Maven once again saved this horrible abomination.

Spoiler

Tell me why does Mare end up with Cal? He chose THRONE over HER TWICE!!! If a man does that he should be glad he doesn't have red mark on his face from my hand

Once again I enjoyed the journey Victoria Aveyard took us on. Enjoyed following Mare, and the addition of Cameron and Evangeline’s perspective was fascinating! Will be reading the fourth book soon!!

I was gonna give this a 3.75, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I really love these books, but the sections where Evangeline or cam were narrator if three me off and felt slow at some parts. The ending threw me for A LOOP btw ❤️💔 (major rant in the spoiler)

Spoiler

The story between Cam and her brother was really touching and I loved that they saved him. Evangeline just was not doing it for me. I loved her and Cal training together because just💕💕💕 and also they got a little 🥵🥵 but there’s no details so don’t think that’s gonna happen or nun’. ALSO CAL AND MARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER WHEN REUNITED BECAUSE OF MERANDUS ALMOST DESTROYED ME but I’m so happy they were baes again😌 UNTIL THEY FREAKING WERENT?!?!!! Still emotionally recovering, might not ever get there
