I am going to read it. I was very interested in the historical aspects and how they were influencing present politics and developments. I also want to see what is happening with Sarah's journey present and past. Finally, I want to see some justice for Sarah and her mom.

I would read the sequel since I think it will tie up some loose ends that were left in 'Strong Heart'.

I missed this when it was the book of the month and read the sequel first. You will be blown away by how different it is. I read Strong Heart second, I prefer the sequel, and I couldn't believe the difference!

I read the sequel first. I couldn't believe how different they were. I hope to follow the characters in yet another book!

Hopefully, you have read the sequel. It's totally different that Strong Heart! I read Strong Heart second as I wasn't here when Stong Heart was available. I hope to follow these characters into another book!

It is better? Good to know. I have the sequel so will give it a chance.

The sequel is not so much about Sarah, it's more about William. But, like Strong Heart, questions remain at the end of the book. I'm really looking forward to following these characters in his next book!

I did read the sequel! I thought it was as good as Strong Heart. Both books complemented each other very well. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series by Charlie Sheldon!

I didn't like Strong Heart enough to want to read the sequel. I'm glad that there is one though. The ending to the first wasn't a strong ending whatsoever. Even as a series book I think the ending was lacking. If the sequel has less mundane details, I could probably be talked into it. That just really killed my enjoyment of the book.

I would like a sequel that focuses on Myra and more of her life. I also wouldn't mind a sort of prequel book that focuses solely on the character, Strong Heart.
I liked the book, and reviewed it (3 stars), but I don't think I would read the sequel. I thought it was a good but not great book. :techie-studyingbrown:

The first book definitely got me hooked up and so I really want to read the sequel. I've put Adrift in my To Read bookshelf. I'm looking forward to see how the Marking Place theme is explored.
To read or not to read? That's not even a question!

I do not think I will read any more books by this author. I did not like anything about this book and I do not care for what the sequel has to tell.
