I have to say that Cobbs is a genius for releasing this now, the Hamilton hype is strong and everyone is looking for anything that has to do with the musical. Like myself. I have the Musical playing 24/7 so when I saw this on NetGalley I had a mini heart attack, Hamilton but in a novel? Hell yeah!

Unfortunately this was not what I hoped it would be, first of all it took me days to push through and the only thing that kept me going where the little snippets that were just like the musical.

Second of all, where in the world is Angelica? She's pretty much MIA here, I mean I love Eliza and this is obviously her book but where's Angelica?! I found myself getting disappointed pretty early on and then I just didn't even want to continue. I wanted more depth and more development, the only character that felt truly developed was Ajax and he was fictional...

I'll go back to the musical and cheer myself up now...

Life of Alexander Hamilton and his marriage to Elizabeth Schuyler.

I very enjoyed learning about the history of the Hamiltons. Some of the battle descriptions dragged on a bit too long in my opinion, but overall, it was worth it to find out more about Hamilton, who helped set up America's government and money system, and his inspiring wife, Eliza, who volunteered tirelessly at a privately funded home for orphans in NYC. Very enjoyable read, and I will be recommending this one to friends!

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
