Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: Morgan Llywelyn is my favorite author. Her books manage to weave a spell around you, attaching you personally to the characters, so your overjoyed, or heartbroken with each of the events in the characters life, as one of their friends would be. 1921 is no exception. The only flaw was the ending, I felt it was very anticlimatic. In fact, the booked climaxed after about the first hundred pages, every thing else seemed like more of a history lesson. I still do recommend it though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, But Not Great, Sequel
Review: The initial book in this series, 1916, was one of the best books I've read, so I was very anxious to read this sequel. However, the sequel did not quite measure up to the original. I think the major problem was the author's decision to make a secondary character from the first book into the protagonist for this book, when the two protagonists from the first book were so much more interesting. However, the writing and historical element were excellent as in the first book, and, again, I really felt I developed great insight into this period.
