An Unconditional Freedom by Alyssa ColeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
We first met Daniel in the first 2 books and this is his story. Daniel was born free and grew up with Elle (book 1). He was later kidnapped and sold into slavery before he was freed by one of the protagonists of the previous books. Now his goal is vengeance.
Janeta is the daughter of a plantation owner and slave (even though her father married her mother). She was told she was "better then" and "different" from the slaves. She was used to having the best and being waited on. When the man she was in love with wanted her to help the South, she agreed. She joined the Loyal League with plans to give information to Henry so he could join the Sons of the Confederacy.
I liked Daniel right off the bat, but Janeta took longer to like. She was so spoiled and naive. However, she was always learning and recalibrating her positions. Both were able to lean on each other. This was a harder book to read when comparing to events of today (ICE raids, dismantling of any DEI, slavery education in the National Parks, the list goes on and on).
This whole series has been wonderful!
