Welcome back to Las Anclas, a frontier town in the post-apocalyptic Wild West. In Las Anclas, the skull-faced sheriff possesses superhuman strength, the doctor can speed up time, and the squirrels can teleport sandwiches out of your hands. In book one, Stranger, teenage prospector Ross Juarez stumbled into town half-dead, bringing with him a precious artifact, a power no one has ever had before, and a whole lot of trouble— including an invasion by Voske, the king of Gold Point. The town defeated Voske’s army, with the deciding blow struck by Ross, but at a great cost. In Hostage, a team sent by King Voske captures Ross and takes him to Gold Point. There he meets Kerry, Voske’s teenage daughter, who has been trained to be as ruthless as her father. While his friends in Las Anclas desperately try to rescue him, Ross is forced to engage in a battle of wills with the king himself.

There are so many characters that it is hard to keep track of the more minor ones but you do sort it out and as you read, it becomes a book very hard to put down. I was soooo sad to have finished as I felt like I had gotten to know the characters so well that I longed to know more about their lives and their adventures.

I enjoyed Stranger and was excited to read the sequel By devi more I just finished reading Hostage, the second book in the series that began with Stranger. I enjoyed Stranger and was excited to read the sequel. I found the story fast paced and intriguing, especially loved the flora of this new world in which diversity flourishes in ways that are amazing and astonishing. I just loved the concept of the singing trees. And the concept of the "Change" and the prejudices of some of the people of Las Anclas about those who were changed draws a real picture of human nature and how a community must strive to see the value in diversity rather than disparage it. And, of course, that brings me to the topic of the teenagers themselves - diverse in their sexual orientations - but not really defined by them. I found that quite refreshing to see in a Young Adult novel.What stands out in both the books is that the characters are like real people that teenagers or anybody can relate to - they are full of weaknesses and full of strengths and most winningly in this book, question, consider and strive for the higher values of humanity; kindness, harmony and understanding of the differences between individuals. Each time I turned the page I would wonder what was going to happen next, and often found myself quite surprised - especially during Ross' escape after being taken prisoner by the enemy King Voske and his soldiers. The new character introduced in Hostage, the daughter of the worst tyrant possible, King Voske, is developed over the pages in an intriguing way and by the end of the story I actually found myself rooting for her although in the beginning of the story I found her quite despicable and scheming. Really a fun book to read - a real page turner and can't wait to read the next in the quartet. I think these stories would make a great movie too..
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A great sequel! By L. H. *NOTE - MINOR RELATIONSHIP SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW*I liked the first book, _Stranger_, but this book really kicked things up a notch. The pace was quicker, and we're introduced to a new character, Voske's daughter, Kerry, who I really enjoyed reading about. We've still got Mia, Jennie, Yuki, and Ross as central characters, but for most of the book the group is split. Ross is a prisoner in Voske's territory of Gold Point while Kerry is being held hostage in Las Anclas. Will Ross escape Gold Point? Will Kerry betray the people of Las Anclas for her father? I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out!I definitely appreciate the diversity of the characters, and I think it's interesting to see an openly polyamorous relationship depicted in a young adult book. I was wondering in the last book if they were going to go there, and there's no question about it by the end of this book, they went there. I don't relate to that kind of relationship, but I find it kind of refreshing change from the usual love triangles so common in YA literature. I can see this relationship being a turn off for some readers, but they probably aren't the right readers for the book anyway. They'd probably have been turned off by all the gay characters long before polyamory came into the picture.I'm (selfishly) glad the authors decided to self-publish the second book in the series because it means I got to read it very shortly after finishing the first book. I hope this means I don't have to wait too long for next two books in the series.Note: I received this book as a free ARC from one of the authors
