This is the continuing story of Isabel and Curzon, two runaway slaves fighting for their freedom in the midst of the Revolutionary War.

The author has incredible style (if you have never read Speak, go do so right now) and she did plenty of research before writing this book. There is an appendix and a glossary at the end to help teens navigating the language. However, the tale falls just a little flat. This book (as opposed to Chains, written in Isabel's voice) is written in Curzon's voice, and he just isn't as thrilling, interesting or as captivating as Isabel. I will probably still read the third book in the series, Ashes, although I won't go out of my way to do so. 3 stars
