I wasn't thrilled with the first book in this series, Chains, but I thought I would give the sequel a chance because so many librarians like it. Mehh....I don't. I love historical fiction, but I just couldn't get into this tale of Curzon. He's a former slave who has enlisted into the American army during the Revolution, at least until his old master reclaims him. The book shows the injustice of slavery pretty clearly, and the hardship of soldiers and citizens during the American Revolution. The history facts were what I liked--but I just had a difficult time believing the voice of Curzon.
