L. C. Lewis

This book is the 2nd book in the Free Men and Dreamers series chronicling fictional families during the little thought about, yet important, War of 1812. I have to say that L.C. Lewis really found her footing on this book...There were so many things I loved about this book, I'm not quite sure what I want to talk about first. Hmmm, let's see...how about we discuss the characters first? I really hate when historical fiction books that take place during wartime make one side the absolute bad guys and the other side the absolute good guys, which thankfully this book does not do. The author really shines by creating complex and real characters. The good guys have flaws, and even some of the bad guys have a redeeming quality or two, which of course makes every character more relatable and enjoyable. The next thing I really enjoyed were all the romances going on. There were quite a few, some of them come to heartwarming fruition, some were left hanging for future books, and some, be prepared, end in heartbreak. The pacing of the romances were a bit off in the first book, but were perfect in this one...
