It was fun seeing her with her family at the Pastures and getting to start a new life in New York City. Yes, even I admit that there is some moping from her about her marriage with Alex and how little time the newly married couple gets to spend with one another, but I honestly enjoyed Eliza’s “slower” chapters. My favorite part about reading this now-series is getting to learn more about Eliza, who we relatively spend little time with in Hamilton: An American Musical. While I enjoyed Love & War for certain reasons, this one unfortunately didn’t live up to Alex & Eliza for me. Am I only the person who hears Lin/Alexander’s “ELiZaaAAAAAA” from “It’s Quiet Uptown” when they think of her? I think after I finish writing this review, I’ll be exploring Red Bubble for some Eliza stickers like it.Īfter loving Melissa de la Cruz’s Alex & Elizalast summer, I was really looking forward to picking up the sequel, Love & War.

I’m completely overdue for some Hamilton fangirling. Eliza struggles to build a home for herself and the couple in New York City, while Alex is swamped in his law practice, especially when a trial bring his against his greatest rival, Aaron Burr. As the war comes to a close, Alex and Eliza’s marriage is again threatened. But when Alex is pulled to the battlefield by his own wish and Eliza is needed at her family’s estate, the two are forced to fight for a better future- for their country and their marriage. Summary: As the Revolutionary rages on, newlyweds Alexander and Eliza Hamilton are determined to truly start their life together.
