I liked the idea… hated the execution. The first book was good. It worked. But the second book was a pain. *SPOILER* they always used the same way to get out of trouble ( teleport) and there barely was anything happening most of the time or as said before resolved so fast or not well that it was so boring. I stopped after the second book

For some reason I could never get through King’s Cage. It’s been a few years since I’ve read it, but I swear I’ve tried reading it like 3 times now, and I can NEVER get through it. I don’t know why, it just felt like the story fell flat. Which is weird because I loved the first two books and it was my favorite YA series before that book. I have War Storm cause I bought it in preparation before I read King’s Cage, and now both books are just sitting on my shelf

I'm rereading the series right now, just about to start the third book, (I thought that there were only for until just now). I enjoy the worldbuilding and the political aspect of the story, the story itself is pretty by the numbers in my opinion, not that that's good or bad, it just is, and I like that there were a lot of characters integral to the plot. I liked some, didn't care about the others. Mare can be hard to understand more often than not, but I like that she's a flawed character and a young person and that people around her call her out when she messes up or acts poorly towards them. I'm fine with the relationship being strained and the two of them trying to work through things, I really appreciated that. The series has its good and not so good sides. I don't read YA novels and am not the target audience, the first book was given to me and I bought books 2 to 4 in less than three months because I just had to know what happens next. So, as a casual reader, I thought it was okay and worth revisiting every once in a while. I'll check to see if the last two books have been translated, I hope they are available here.

I am on the 2nd book (half way) and I just learned that cal and mare don’t work out because I read the *about the book* on a kindle. I have so much anger because it’s like the author gave up on the romance. I don’t know what happens but I’m starting to think about not reading the next 2 books.

It's too bad that I bought the paperback version, the cover doesn't glow, and the second book is in an odd light blue shade. And then I thought: "maybe I can buy the rest of the books in hardback version", till I realized that means the books won't have the same size :( Guess I'm gonna have to buy them all in paperback...-

i loved the book series but i really disliked mare. i’m so glad that later on there were other characters pov other than just mare because if it was just her i wouldn’t have finished the series. it was very interesting to read from iris, evangeline, cal, and maven’s point of view rather than just mare.

Um.. no. Its Young Adult (13/14-15+), it has strong themes of violence, torture, war, love, betrayl and more, I would not want a kid with a mental maturity level under 13/14 who knows nothing about these topics reading it. If so, just tell them that this a a fictional story and adress the topics.

Hi! Thanks for your review. Its quarantine time & Ive been binge reading like crazy! Just finished up this entire series. Any recommendations for my next read? Also, **possible spoilers ahead*** I want to say while I did find some flaws in the series as well, it has become one of my favorites! I loved so many characters including Farley, Kilorn, Julian, Davidson. My favorites, ironically, are Evangeline and Maven. I mean Evangeline’s character development was amazing. Seriously I grew to love her so much & my heart broke with her. It takes strength to walk away from all you know. Without her choice for freedom, I dont know if indecisive Cal would have been able to come to the decision of giving up the crown. And Maven, poor, broken Maven. Im glad we got some insight into his mind. I cant help but feel so much pity for him anyway and I still cared about him despite the horrible things he did. His mother broke him, literally drove him to insanity. It breaks my heart to know he never had a chance to be his own person or make his own decisions. I feel like *huge spoiler* when Mare described relief in his eyes, that may have been his last battle with him mind and his mom. Like he moved just slightly on purpose so Mare could kill him. I can only imagine how much love he would have been capable of given the chance (even his mom couldnt remove his feelings for thomas or Mare). Still crying over him brb. Meanwhile My feelings for Cal would go from love to anger all the time. I seriously couldnt stand his inability to make decisions. I understand thats how you were raised but seriously, he saw how he was made an outcast and how reds lived. I feel like even in the end, he was unsure if what he’d done was right. Well anyway while Mare did honestly get annoying sometimes (how many times can she say lightning girl 😉) overall I enjoyed her. I feel like her feelings were valid toward both brothers, the silvers, etc. I liked how despite her undying love for Cal, she was able to walk away (if only briefly) from him when the time came & Cal refused to give up the throne. She chose her people and equality over him. I admire that. Can I say that I was so heartbroken that Shade died & while youre right, realistically speaking after so many wars & attacks, other main characters should have died, I am selfishly glad they didn’t. I cried enough with Shade & the fact he left farley & clara behind. I mean how many People does Farley need to lose. It is so unfair to her 😪 Sorry about the long message. Your video was the chosen one for my rant following my completion of this series because I enjoyed your review. Overall, it was an amazing series & Im so glad I got to live it. I absolutely loved the magical, powerful side of it. The ending for me was kind of eh but I know thats how some series and movies are, kind of leaving the rest to the imagination of the reader. In sight of Cal’s annoying indecisiveness, I hope he takes the time away from Mare to work on himself and change for the better. So perhaps this was the best decision. Fyi I think i would be a newblood for sure. Hehe. 💁🏻‍♀️💘

No need to apologize for the message! I completely agree with all of your points and I too can't help but feel sorry for Maven. Evangeline did have the greatest and most realistic growth throughout the series. She started off as just a single faceted mean girl and transformed into a deep and multidimensional human. Cal and Mare definitely got on my nerves with their 'woe is me' attitude and I did start leaning towards the side characters. I had such high hopes for Mare once he chose the throne over her, but we see how all that turned out. I really, really love your analysis and take on this all! Also, some books that I recommend are Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, Scythe by Neal Shusterman and The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch! Hope you're staying safe and entertained during this uncertain time!

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!: I looooved cal and mare obviously, ig it was kind of annoying how they were on and off WHEN CAL CHOSE THE THRONE I WAS ABT TO THROW HANDS. But overall I just loved them so much, every scene with them I just love so much but I found it so interesting with maven especially how he still had good parts to him. I just love cal and mare with all my heart. Also I rlly wish evangeline and mare could have been closer at the end cause that whole scene with her trying to get cal and mare together I lived forrrrr. But I'm not a major reader so it doesn't take a lot to impress me literally anything with a romance and some dystopian stuff I love lol.

Well my new year resolution is to read more so in 2020 I have read two (2) books, Burmese Days by George Orwell and The Wild Truth by Carine Mcandless. I was surprised by how much I ended up liking both books considering how different they are. If you are looking for some insight on British imperialism in Burma during the 1920s I highly recommend this book. If you read the book or watched the movie Into the Wild, you will enjoy The Wild Truth. It is the same story told by Chris's sister and dives deeper into there troubled family history which further explains Chris's reasonings behind his actions.
