Copper Fire (Copper Star Series, Book 2)
"Copper Fire" is the sequel to Suzanne Woods Fisher's first novel "Copper Star." While I have not had the privilege of reading the first book in the series, this second novel read very much like a stand-alone novel. There was enough information divulged at the beginning of, and throughout the book, that I had a clear sense of the chain of events that led everyone to where they are now. Throughout "Copper Fire" I really got to know and understand the characters as they are very well-developed. From Elisabeth and her "organizing" to William and his spying, each character has such unique traits and personalities. I don't think there was one major player I did not feel I completely "knew" by the time the novel was finished. --Rebecca's ReadsCopper Fire brought a smile to my face from page one, which is exactly what I've come to expect from author Suzanne W. Fisher. It's real life through and through. Every character has a list of faults that makes them all the more endearing. Louisa can't seem to bridle her tongue. Her husband, Robert, is a true man, complete with two-word sentiments, and dear Aunt Martha is back in all her crabapple glory.But Elisabeth takes the cake. This troubled youngster's shenanigans and quarrelsome temperament draw the reader in, like gawkers at a crime scene. Ms. Fisher is a master at character development, and she's outdone herself with Copper Fire.A smidgen of romance and a bite-sized portion of suspense rounds Copper Fire out nicely, making it a must-read.  Congratulations, Ms. Fisher. Another outstanding book. --Title Trakk and At Home with Christian FictionThe storyline was very engaging and I found the novel to be hard to put down. I read the entire book from start to finish in one day because I could not wait to find out what was going to happen next. Fisher is a very talented historical writer and is really able to draw the reader in and keep them transfixed until the last page is turned. Whether you have read the first novel in the Copper Star series or not, I believe that any fan of historical fiction will enjoy "Copper Fire." I look forward to reading more books by Woods in the future. --Midwest Book Reviews
