Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?
Chains is a story about an enslaved girl and her sister who get unlawfully sold to a very cruel master after their former (and very nice. She even taught the main character, Isabel, how to read.) dies.
It will make you cry, hope, laugh, gasp in anger and terror and mostly, make you hope there is a sequel all throughout the book. And there is! Actually, Chains is part of a trilogy. The first book is in Isabel's (The enslaved girl) point of view. The second book, Forge, is in Curzon's point of view, whom she will refer to as "the boy with the red hat" when they meet. He is a rebel's slave, and has dreams of joining the army and win his own freedom, while Isabel is the slave of the King's followers, and even though at the beginning she believes in the revolution, as we get more into the book Chains, she isn't so sure what she is anymore. The last book of the trilogy, Ashes, is back to Isabel's point of view.
I recommend Chains to pretty much anyone who likes to read good books. Which I expect is everyone.
