Forge is the sequel to the book Chains, and it is followed by Ashes. Together they form a trilogy called the Seeds of America. Forge is from the point of view of a different character as Chains. Curzon, a friend of Isabel's. Not only was Forge fascinating because it was from a different character's point of view, but the previous book, Chains, ended in a cliffhanger, so it was just all very, very exciting. It is hard to do this review without spoiling the first book, but it is hard. I am trying. I like when characters have a reference to them before we learn their real name. (Like in the Hunger Games, Peeta Mellark is referred to as "the boy with the bread") In the book Chains, Curzon is referred to as "the boy with the red hat". That phrase will stay with me forever. Whenever I think of Curzon, the phrase pops into my mind: "The Boy With The Red Hat".
I know I'm getting off point here, so here's my cetral idea on all of this:
Put Forge on your reading list. But first you have to read Chains because it just makes it all way better.
