Here the war is over and life is attempting to go on. This novel is no exception as he seems to drop other stories and characters almost completely from the canvas to tell the story of two characters. If there’s one complaint I have about Jakes’ novels, especially those in a series, it’s that too many times he seem to change the characters to fit the story he wants to tell. Many members of each family were followed on the various courses taken as the country was leading up to – and later fighting – the Civil War. In the series he introduced us to the Main family from South Carolina and the Hazard family from Pennsylvania. Heaven and Hell is the final book in the trilogy about the Civil War by John Jakes. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
