I wasn‘t sure if I‘d enjoy starting this book immediately after I finished North and South, but I am really loving it. The story began immediately after the first book ended, but it did not feel slow to start, like the first book did. The war has begun, but is not widespread yet. Most of the characters are anticipating their turn at fighting, which will come soon.
This book is over 1,000 pages!! I love a good #chunkster!!
