Esta lectura es parte de un desafío de leer varias secuelas que tengo en mi "plan to read" desde hace años. Leí el primer libro de esta trilogía hace más de cinco años, salió en la época en que había distopías por todos lados y los tópicos de esa era se notan. Sin embargo me llevé una grata sorpresa, porque si bien no es la gran cosa (y había olvidado la mayor parte de las cosas que pasaron), tiene una linda prosa y se lee súper rápido. Medio libro puente, pero yo creí que directamente no me iba a gustar, y resultó ser muy entretenido. Y hasta dan ganas de leer el final.
Can't wait for the next one. A great story and well told.
Read it in three days, many hated this second book I'm that small percentage that loved it!! Can't wait for the new one!!!
Captive is the second book in the series and one I have been eager to read. Pawn was an amazing start to this series, and I expected that to continue on with Captive, however I just couldn't get into Captive as much as I hoped to. Captive picks up after Pawn with Kitty still pretending to be Lila, however things start to fall apart after she discovers hidden information, and a traitor among the ranks spills the beans.
Kitty is sent to Elsewhere as punishment, but having Lila's face makes it hard for her to blend in, but it also give her the advantage of having unknown protection. Kitty has experienced all sides of life, but seeing how people live and are treated in Elsewhere is somewhat different to her expectations, but is also harsh and upsetting.
Captive was a book that I thought was OK, there were moments that shocked me, but was relieved to find this was wrong later on in the book, and a revelation that put a twist on things and really made me pause reading to take this new information in, it wasn't what I expected and came out of the blue, but explains a lot about Kitty. Plot wise Captive was somewhat of a turning point in some aspects of the series, but as a book it didn't quite grab me. I just felt like the book was more of a filler than one that paves the way for the next installment. We do see a new side to Knox but I really wanted to punch him on several occasions. We learn of a few secrets and the ending adds another twist on the story, and although I know about this new twist in a small way, I really did not see it being used as a tool to win the war.
Captive was an OK book and I am interested in seeing what happens next, but only due to the ending and what it means for this war.

Nunca me he llevado bien con las segundas partes de las trilogías, siempre son el extra que le agregan donde te dan largas y largas para concluir en nada. No fue mala pero tampoco buena, simplemente fue. Es un libro que en cierta parte te engancha y en otras de te aburre, Aimee quiso crear un ambiente de duda donde todo desde el principio era claro, Kitty se volvió algo desesperante por ser tan impulsiva. No tengo mucho que decir, pero sin duda mi amor Knox creció muchísimo.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin (UK) Limited for giving me this book to review.
Kitty is growing frustrated with impersonating the Prime Minister’s niece, Lia Hart, firstly, because her fake fiancé, Knox, is not letting her become more involved in the rebellion and secondly, she is unable to spend much time with her boyfriend Benji. While looking for information on the prime minister, she discovers that she has been watched by the Hart family long before she was masked. After trusting the wrong person, Kitty’s greatest fear comes true as she is sent to Elsewhere, a prison from which no one has escaped. With Kitty not knowing who to trust, will she give up or help the rebellion even when it might cost her everything?
Captive is the good dystopian sequel to Pawn with action, romance and violence. It is fast paced and full of twists, some of which I saw coming but some I did not.
I liked Kitty more in this book because, even though she is really easily deceived, she still fights for what she believes in and does want to be a pawn anymore. I also like Benji as he is kind, loyal and protective of Kitty without smothering her. There are lots of new characters in this book as well as people from the previous book, my favourite is Knox as I could never tell where he stood and if we could trust him.
I really enjoyed this book and am looking to the next book, Queen. I would recommend Captive to fans of the first book in the Blackcoats rebellion trilogy Pawn.

[Hörbuch] Auch die Fortsetzung ist spannend gemacht, hat ein gutes Erzähltempo und überraschende Wendungen. Bin schon neugierig, wie sich die Beziehung und Charaktere weiterentwickeln – solider zweiter Band.

I'm fascinated by the plot of this series, but cannot stand the characters acting it out.

İşler daha ne kadar da sarpa sarabilir, bir kitap bir okuyucuya daha ne kadar sürpriz yapabilir ya da bir kitap içerisinde ne kadar çok ölüm, ihanet, aşk ve acı olur merak ediyor musunuz? O zaman sizi The Blackcoat Rebellion serisini okumaya davet ediyorum ama özellikle de serinin ikinci kitabı olan Vezir/Captive kitabını. Kitabın her sayfasını ağzım açık okumaktan artık çenem ağrıdı.
