A Hope Divided by Alyssa Cole
5.0
Thanks to Kensington Books for this free review copy!
I have had this book sitting on my shelf since this past winter and FINALLY got to it ~ and I’m totally kicking myself for waiting so long! I read the first book in the Loyal League series (AN EXTRAORDINARY UNION) in the fall and really liked it, but I loved this one even more.
.
A HOPE DIVIDED is a Civil War romance, but it’s so so so much more than that too. It’s a scathing indictment of slavery, it’s an examination of how genetics and heritage and race weigh against each other, it’s a gorgeous ode to the healing powers of plants and nature, and also an exhilarating suspenseful escape story. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction!
