Captive by Aimée Carter

3.0

Captive is a well-written and entertaining sequel to [b:Pawn|10838787|Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1)|Aimee Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374097236s/10838787.jpg|15753006]. Aimee Carter manages to keep this story as action-packed and full of twists and turns as its predecessor, making it almost impossible to put down.

If you had something to tie you back to your old life, would you keep it or destroy it?

It's been two months since Kitty Doe has been Masked into the Prime Minister's niece, Lila. And now it's finally time for Kitty to begin feeding the flames of the rebellion Lila began before her "death". But is she prepared to pay the ultimate price ensure the rebellion succeeds?

Kitty is an easy character to sympathize for, but she's not always the most likable. She makes some very questionable decisions over the course of this story that put her and those she cares for in jeopardy. Yet, even despite her poor decisions, it's hard not to root for her and the cause she is fighting for.

Where the story lacks is in the complexity of the characters. The characters have certain personality traits and characteristics that distinguish them, but they aren't complex enough to feel like real people.

In conclusion, this is a very high-stakes continuation of Kitty's story. I am anxious to see what happens next in [b:Queen|25246657|Queen (The Blackcoat Rebellion #3)|Aimee Carter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438904049s/25246657.jpg|42241880].

An armory isn't always made up of guns and knives. Sometimes, information is the most powerful weapon of all.
