The Ladies of Ivy Cottage by Julie Klassen

4.0

As a continuation of this series I really enjoyed book 2. I felt like this book was more like the author's writing that I'm used to. We get to know the characters more in-depth in this book. Book 2 is more focused on Mercy and Rachel's story, although Jane is in the story quite a bit as well. That's one of the elements I appreciate with this series, it still combines the pivotal characters.

This book took me longer to read than usual just because there are so many details. I don't say that in a negative way, but that you don't want to miss anything!

I enjoyed following Rachel and Mercy through their ups and downs in the story. Rachel lives my dream by opening a circulating library. Of course back then it's her only way to be able to survive with some sort of income. Mercy continues with her school for girls out of her home while allowing Rachel to open her library there.

Book 2 will leave you looking forward to book 3...which I sure am!
