The Captive Maiden

4 stars!

I liked Gisela at the beginning, but then she become sooo diferent and I couldn't stand her. Valten wa weird but I liked him anyway. My problem was with the story... pretty predictable and slow in parts.

Valten was fun and likable but this book was disappointing, just like her other ones. Good plot, good potential but very poorly executed. Cliched, repetitive, and very...conveniently placed characters. No really good plot development in these novels. Extremely disappointing but its a quick fun romance....just don't think too hard.

Poor character development as well. As I said in my comments, the author could've done a lot with this book as far as Valten growing up and getting politics/governing involved instead of the typical guy saves girl crap. Annoying.
