Betrayed by love and exhausted from battle in King's Cage, Mare and her united rebel front seek unexpected reinforcements for the war against the mentally unstable king, Maven. Several of Aveyard's narrators are unapologetically elitist, which makes for interesting character studies but unsympathetic story lines. However, the political scheming and elemental fighting that ensue should maintain readers' interest in this fourth and final novel.
