King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard

-

Though Mare has been taken captive by King Maven, rebellion still burns in her heart. She can't do much confined in the walls of the palace but watch as Maven desperately tries to defeat the Scarlet Gaurd. Meanwhile, Cal trains with the Scarlet Gaurd as they prepare to take back Norta and help Mare escape Maven's cage.
    I like the Red Queen series so much! I really liked that King's Cage was told from three different points of view compared to how the first two books in the series were only from Mare's perspective.
    I didn't like Cameron's chapters because they felt slow and a bit boring. I did like how she wouldn't glorify characters such as Mare and Cal who I love so much that I don't even see their flaws anymore. After her chapters, I was so bored that I found it hard to get back into the book and that's the main reason King's Cage got three stars.
    My favorite chapters actually came from Evangeline. Before King's Cage, I hated her but through her chapters, she's managed to redeem herself. And now I can't help but love her! The stuff we find out about her is so shocking!
    I know he's the villain and technically I'm not supposed to like him, but I love Maven! I'm not sure if this is just me, but I still wish every time they interact, he and Mare will end up together. I know that her heart truly belongs to Cal. I guess they're still a cute couple.

  Clap When You Land  was an amazing novel. On top of that, Elizabeth Acavado's writing was beautiful.  5 "The whole time she swallowed her words like bitter pills not realizing that they were slow dripping poison." 4 "Papi was a man split in two playing a game against himself But the problem with that is in order to win, you always lose" 3 "A queen offers her hand to be kissed, & can form it into a fist while smiling the whole damn time" 2 You do not let your words stunt unknown possibilities." 1 "Fight until you can't breathe, & if you have to forfeit you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win."

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good!

August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
