2/5 🌟 (I skipped the epilogue because I was too angry)

As well as many people, I started to understand better the life of Ham and Eliza with the musical Hamilton. I also discovered this trilogy because I began to love so much their love story and I did love the first two books in the series, even tho I’m not a romance lover.

Let’s start with the positives: I love the writing style. I think the author is capable of writing in a historic manner however I also found it too detailed on things I don’t personally care about. At the same time, however, I know those things are important for the setting.
I also loved the new characters such as Emma, Drayton, John and Betty but at some points they felt too present for me to care.

Let’s go with the negatives. Since book 2 I though the timeline was handled badly: I personally would have finished the second book with Philip’s born. But no, the dear author had to mess up so bad the dates to the point that the finale doesn’t make any sense! She mixed up so many things (best of wife’s and best of women but Alex doesn’t die? really) and I found it so annoying! Also, a lot of the incredible things Alex and Eliza do are not mentioned in the book (apart the epilogue!): I would basically have planned the trilogy very differently.
The worst of this book are the main characters.
Eliza Hamilton, my favorite character in the musical, in here became a snobbish rich woman. She has a huge heart towards the poor but not for the other people in her life? It’s so out-of-character if we think about her in the previous books.
Alexander Hamilton, on the other hand, it’s just so flat. Even someone who doesn’t know about the Reynolds scandal would have guessed that Alex would have betrayed Eliza but there was no real meaning. There was no reason.
Burr was so disappointing. We barely see him and his character is destroyed by the plot and the timeline changes.

I would recommend the trilogy? Maybe just the first two books?
