![]() ![]() As the narrator and protagonist, she was exceptionally dull. Eliza was such a Mary Sue- smart, kind, beautiful (despite her humble dress, of course), incredible at anything she takes her hand to- from horse riding to administering medication, and just all round amazing. ![]() My first problem with this novel was the characters. “T he practical girl who would not settle for less than a love story for the ages found the life long romance she had yearned for all her life.“ It follows their courting, Alex’s struggle with his work and Eliza’s need to aid the war effort, all only briefly touched on in the play. The novel endeavours to cover a bit of the story that the musical barely touches on: Elizabeth Schuyler and Alexander Hamilton getting together. However, riding the hype, I decided to try this novel and was bitterly disappointed. Back in May last year my friends and I got cheap tickets to Hamilton this February, which was the best way to celebrate the new year. ![]()
