(2) YA Prisoners of Peace series. Pan Polar Confederacy princess Greta and the world's other royal children are held hostage: if a leader goes to war, his or her child is killed; if that child survives to eighteen, he or she is released. There's a welcome spin on the damsel-in-distress-falls-for-rebellious-boy trope--Greta's love interest is Da-Xia, Daughter of Heaven, rather than insurrectionary hostage Elián. A smart, compelling Hunger Games read-alike.
