The Gilded Cage

I had such high hopes after the first book and this simply did not hit the same. I felt Kiva devolved as a character and the story was extremely repetitive with mini side quests with the other arching plot not taking place until the last 80% ish. I still loved following our character (aka Jaron) but this just did not slap. Truly, I could see the plot twist this time from a mile away.
