Captive by Aimée Carter

Holy crap, I just got approved to read this on Netgalley! Thank you Harlequin!!!

I quite enjoyed this! Sometimes the drama seemed a bit much, and I wasn't sure what to think of the main relationship in the book, but overall this was a solid sequel to the first novel. The plot actually developed and deepened in this book, enough to hold my interest and have me invested in what was going on - if not in the characters, then in the world that I had gotten to know and was developed throughout the pages.
Kitty is an interesting character - at times I wanted to shake her, which I suppose has certain positives itself - it says something when you're invested enough to want to reach through the page and shake a fictional person! She's not perfect but that's something I really like and respect in books, the courage to take a character and make them real, with their own quirks and downfalls and - yes - annoying moments.
I also appreciated the intensity of the plot - the author clearly wasn't afraid to make sacrifices for her story, and while I quite often have a problem with this sort of thing, Aimee Carter makes it work. it's also more realistic than some books that would have you believe that war and revolution have everyone walking away unharmed.
Overall a solid sequel to the first and worth reading.
