Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson

4.0

It’s been nine months since Isabel and Curzon escaped from New York in [b:Chains|3002300|Chains (Seeds of America, #1)|Laurie Halse Anderson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625710s/3002300.jpg|3032794] . After arguing Isabel and Curzon have parted ways. Curzon finds himself joining the Patriot army right before winter sets in. He and his comrades see little fighting, but have to contend with terrible living conditions at Valley Forge. He gains both friends and enemies in the army, and can’t seem to stop thinking about Isabel.

The story is totally told from the point of view of Curzon, and he seems to have it better than Isabel did in [b:Chains|3002300|Chains (Seeds of America, #1)|Laurie Halse Anderson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255625710s/3002300.jpg|3032794]. His enemy for most of the book, who doesn't even do that much to him, conveniently dies of small pox. Meanwhile it's hinted that Isabel has not fared so well before she reunites with Curzon.
