If not for the description and characters around them (and the title headings) I would not know who’s perspective I was reading. I found myself wishing for a different style of words and sentence structure to really separate the voices. We get more mixed perspectives in ‘ King’s Cage,’ Mare, Evangeline, Cameron, and as much as each narrative added something to the plot, they were similar in tone. And while interesting, after a while I became a little bored. With this I find long chapters of inner musings about the past, ponderings on strategic moves for gains in war and politics. It’s not like ‘ Red Queen’ where I was fascinated by the world of Norta and the novelty of Silvers and their X-Men like abilities. When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire-leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare’s heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.
