A review by pacey1927
Captive by Aimée Carter

3.0

I really did like the second book in Aimee Carter's Blackcoat Rebellion series but perhaps it suffered a bit of sophomore slump for me. I read "Pawn" like it was it was on fire, but "Captive" never held my interest the same way. It did kick up a bit when Kitty became a captive in Elsewhere. We already know Elsewhere is an evil place from "Pawn" but wow is it evil. The things that happen to her or that she witnesses in Elsewhere are pretty awful. There is a big personal reveal for Kitty toward the end of the novel which I found a little bit convenient but books need plot devices, I suppose. Kitty is a strong character and I like that she feels scared sometimes because that makes her feel real however she is so naive and really bullies her way into situations that end up having dire consequences. I have loved every single world Aimee Carter has previously written and released so I don't want to come off too negative. Really everything depends on how much I enjoy the final book "The Queen".
