Winterkeep by Kristin Cashore
This was better than some of the other books in this series. Bitterblue and some of her advisors go to Winterkeep for negotiations. However, she gets flung out of the boat by a wave and gets captured. We think she is dead for a long time, then we realize she is being held captive in the attic of the president. Giddeon realizes he's in love with her now that she's gone and she realizes she feels the same. Meanwhile, Lovisa, the daughter of the president, is trying to upset her parents and finds out that they are keeping the Queen captive. She manages to break her out and they escape together. They reunite with the advisors and accuse the president of kidnapping. Meanwhile, the president and her family have been living with another important political family because Lovisa burned down the house during her escape. The president has a bonded fox, Adventure, who helps orchestrate her death, to protect Lovisa. Her dad shows up and tries to blame everything on his (now) dead wife, but that doesn't work and he gets arrested. Lovisa decides to testify against him and that seals his fate. Also, they find her uncle, he has been hidden in a cave at their summer house, and they rescue him. Bitterblue and Giddeon get engaged and go home. Some of the previous books were a struggle to get through, but not this one.
