The Claim by Jennifer L. Holm

3.0

Definitely the most frustrating of the Boston Jane series because the plot is driven by people being needlessly cruel, foolish, and failing to communicate. However, quite a bit of the plot is disappointingly accurate (watching relations between settlers and Native Americans rapidly disintegrate the stronger territorial governments became) and also surprised me in how much resonated with this adult reader, particularly around horrifying election results and watch it fuel a lot of hatred and poor behavior. Everything worked out as best as it could, and had the nice hopeful ending to soothe the anxiety incurred throughout the read. But all in all, I still adore this series. Thanks for the great reads, Jennifer L. Holm!
