All I do know is that there was something off about this book. I can’t quite put my finger on it. The premise sounded pretty good with the prospect of aliens. I do enjoy a good alien book and a good alien movie. But there was just something about this book that I didn’t care for. Perhaps, maybe it was the writing. The writing was very stilted. I would expect more expression since the cast was teenagers. I remember being incredibly dramatic as a teenager. Who am I kidding, I’m actually still incredibly dramatic. One of the writing flaws I found was that I was told everything. I was told how the characters felt. I don’t enjoy being told things; I’d rather be shown things. I also couldn’t bond with any of the characters. With a large cast of characters, you would think I would have found at least one character to bond with but alas, I didn’t. Cora was the MC and boy, I didn’t like her one single bit. Everything she did was annoying and detrimental to her escaping. Then she would sit there and ponder why nothing worked out. She was annoying and the way she went about everything was difficult. I understand that she wanted to get out but there had to be an easier way to do things. Overall, even though I took notes on this book, I can’t remember much about it. I just remember feeling very annoyed and I had to force myself to finish this book because I hate not finishing books. I might continue with the series but honestly I have better books to read. Perhaps if I get super incredibly bored, then maybe I’ll pick it up.

Very interesting, with some big plot twists I definitely did not see coming!

That was an ending I wasn't expecting.

I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me alot of the maze runner but i enjoyed the characters alot more. It is the type of book you need to read very fast but overall loved it. Need to read the hunt soon!

Rating - 3.5 Take a seat children, I have a story to tell. I am going to try and do my review in a different format this time. Might be a little easier for me. So I picked this book up a couple days before the release, I do believe my local bookstore was getting sick of me. I was honestly stocking the store for when they got their deliveries and asking if they had it in yet. The Cage was one of my highly anticipated books of 2015. The Good - Cassian or "The Caretaker" I loved him throughout this whole book. His character was awesome. - The setting/cage was so interesting, how all those different areas all mixed in together and how they melded and bent to cause everyone to always end up where they started. - the idea of the book was unique and interesting - the writing was beautiful, I flew through this book. - ah the romance that built between Cora and Cassian. So much swooning. - THAT TWIST, THAT GASP-TACULAR TWIST Now the dreaded bad parts - Everyone who had a POV in the book. Seriously, what the crap was Megan thinking with these characters. We have one very jealous, abusive type, one who sleeps with everyone and CORA OMG COULD YOU EVER LET CASSIAN SAY ANYTHING. I was so sick of the way that Cora would just CUT Cassian off every time he wanted to tell her the truth or anything. I wanted to slap her and be like CORA STFU AND LET THE MAN/ALIEN SPEAK DAMNIT!!! - The escape plan or lack thereof. What was she going to do when she found the fail safe, really stupid Cora. - Rolf and Nok, ridiculous. that is all - REPRODUCE, if you have read this you know the ending WTF DID REPRODUCING HAVE TO DO WITH IT?! - the puzzles and tokens, again what was the point? - was the tundra not cold? A tiny summer dress and bare feet and not dying of hypothermia? - WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO KISS?! Ok that is just something that made me upset haha Overall I enjoyed the book, I did. I will be continuing on and I will probably be counting down the days too. I devoured this book and even with some tiny hiccups I couldn't stop reading it to figure out what was happening. I love Cassian.. need more Cassian. Can we have a book with Raffe from Angel Fall and Cassian.. Omg can I be in this book. *swoon*
