_King's Cage_ by Victoria Aveyard
Throwing Shade
Cal warned me against the threat of civil war a long time ago, before his father died, before he was left with nothing but a tempestuous lightning girl. Rebellion on both sides, he said. But standing here, leashed before Maven's court and his Silver kingdom, I see no division. Even though I showed them, told them of Maven's prison, of their loved ones taken away, of their trust betrayed by a king and his mother-- I am still the enemy here. It makes me want to scream, but I know better. Maven's voice will always be louder than mine. p 3 King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard
It's amazing how the meaning of things can change when we read them at different times. I read this first when it came out, then again in early May, and looking through my quotes now (late May) as children are being taken from their families, refugees are forced to wear armbands, the people who are drawing attention to the atrocities are being treated as the enemy. Sad, true, and sadly predictable.
Description of Character
Even in the hand-me-down uniform, faded by use, with gray in his hair and the pallid, cold look we all take on underground, there's no denying who he is. Others share my sentiments. The soldiers around him touch their holstered guns, keeping one eye on the Silver man. The rumors are more pointed where is he concerned. [sic] He's Cal's uncle, a dead queen's brother, Mare's old tutor. Woven into our ranks like a thread of steel among wool. Embedded, but dangerous and easily pulled free. p85 King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard
I don't know if this will be any use to anyone, but I want to save the spot as evidence of Maven's relationship with Thomas-- what it may have really been. p170 (I'm still reading War Storm. Maybe it becomes apparent there or maybe this is the hint we're given and we just assume.)
Government
"I suppose even he could not undo your years of poor education. Another well-used tactic, I might add." p201 King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard
Origin of Silvers
Strange that so many thought themselves gods, or a god's chose, he wrote. Blessed by something greater. Elevated to what we are. When all evidence points to the opposite. Our abilities came from corruption, from a scourge that killed most. We were not a god's chosen, but a god's cursed. p268 King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard
Easter Egg?
