The Masterpiece

Alcott Legacy #2

Starting this book out after finishing "The Tapestry". I expected that the one book would lean into the next book, but that wasn't the case. It like skipped a generation and I was lost for awhile. However it finally straightened on out and was a great read after that.

One of my all time favorite books. I've read all 3 at least a dozen times.

Liked this one better than the first; characters felt more believable and did not have a slow start. Ready to finish the trilogy.

[Jeanne Modisett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a post Civil War book taking place mainly in the south in Mississippi. There is light romance, grief and suspense to make it very far from boring.

I liked this book, but not as much as I liked the other two books in the series. It was a lot slower and not as exciting. When it finally did get pretty exciting, and made me really want to read more, the book was over in two chapters. I did enjoy the complexity of the relationships and watching the characters grow and mature.
My review on the series is on my review for "The Heirloom".
