Sequel to the National Book Award Winner "A novel of the first rank, the kind of monumental work Italo Calvino called 'encyclopedic' in the way it sweeps up history into a comprehensible and deeply textured pattern." -- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (Age 14 and up) Fearing a death sentence, Octavian and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows -- the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause -- Octavian hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore's proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces. In Volume II of his unparalleled masterwork, M. T. Anderson recounts Octavian's experiences as the Revolutionary War explodes around him, thrusting him into intense battles and tantalizing him with elusive visions of liberty. Ultimately, this astonishing narrative escalates to a startling, deeply satisfying climax, while reexamining our national origins in a singularly provocative light.Binding Type: Paperback

FMC PMO
Format: Kindle
I just felt like two things
1. The character development wasn’t there the character consistency wasn’t there, especially with the FMC.
2. The FMC would literally make the guys feel bad and keep bringing up that they don’t want her there, but then her whole thing has been. I don’t wanna be here so either you wanna be there or not but if you give off vibes that you don’t wanna be there people are not gonna want you there.

Great read
Format: Kindle
Hahahha omg I love Laurie. Momma don't care if you're an Uber alpha, she'll still middle name you & give you a dressing down hahaha. But really, this was a great read, great pacing for a fast paced book (timeline-wise) & great characters that actually felt individual. Plus I always love psycho puppy alphas haha.

enjoyed

Well, this was a really good read. I really enjoyed it. I liked the characters for the most part. Couldn’t quite connect with Darius. Still a very good read.

A sweet Knotty Novel
Format: Kindle
This is just an sweet omegaverse novel. Very low drama. Each guy had their moments and the spice was like paprika. I would definitely count it as a slowish burn but the tension built. I was hoping for more "dark" but definitely count it as sweet.

interesting OV
Format: Kindle
This is definitely a type of OV story I am familiar with just with some unique components that make it its own story. If you’ve read a lot of OV then this plot will be easy to follow and enjoyable.
