I should have just stopped at Red Queen. But no, I put myself through the agony of reading King's Cage even though I couldn't bring myself to finish the second book in this series, Glass Sword, because it was so boring. King's Cage was slightly better than GS, but not much. It's another boring book filled with too many characters who don't do much of anything. A few interesting things happen but then it gets boring again, and honestly some of the peripheral storylines are just dumb. Does Farley really have to eat constantly just because she's pregnant? Give me a break. This was originally supposed to be a trilogy, but now there will apparently be a fourth book. I've learned my lesson though and will not being reading it. It's a shame because Red Queen, in my opinion, was a good book. I flew through it and loved the world that Aveyard created. It was unique and had many layers, but not too many that you had to fight your way out. She lost something in the second book though and never regained it, like a car spinning out of control. The push to do a trilogy (or even more) is most likely what killed this series, because it feels stretched beyond what it should or could have been.
