** The book had been sent by the author for an honest review and by no means the review is biased/influenced**
STAR RATING: 4/5
DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: Emotional drive, wells up the heart.
Title: W for Waterloo and W for War.....they are synonyms of a sort in every person's memory. The title is apt as it's the journey of Ms Darcy from her beautiful estate of Pemberley to the gloomy misfortune of Waterloo.
Title Rating: 4/5
Cover: The cover is certainly better than the last book as it depicts a scene from the book and makes the reader curious about the contents of the book.
Cover Rating: 4/5
Characters: GEORGIANA: She emerged as one of the strongest lady who has the capacity to endure every hardship and still stay optimistic. She doesn't get scared on tending the wounds and seeing the dying people. She was feeling depressed but kept her calm for the sake of everyone. She is no longer afraid of her past that threatens her integrity and faces Wickham with candor.
EDWARD: A battle is something from which a person cannot come unscathed physically and mentally. He lost his ability to see and went through all the general emotions a guy goes through in such a scenario. He wanted to open up his heart to his betrothed but he was frustrated from his condition. We feel pity for him but can't stop loving his for his brave attitude and his sincerity.
KITTY: The immature girl grew up through this journey facing the horrors of war. She went through a complete transformation from a girl who was mindless and almost had a blow to her reputation due to a potential scandal. She became a woman from the carefree flirtatious girl.

Review: After reading the first book I was really eager to read the next in the series. I could feel the joy of the Darcy's new born, Georgiana's worry, her tender care for the suffering of the unknown and her patience with Edward. I went through the ride of the emotions as the story moved forward and couldn't leave it till the last page.
Review Rating: 4/5
Appreciation: The real time description of the war connected me to the battle as if I witnessed it and felt as if I was right there in the pages of the book.
Let Downs: There are errors a bit here and there but by no means they are disrupting the story at any point.
Final Verdict: The story gave me a combination of romance mixed with the war's negativity and it made a deadly combination which gets a reader hooked to the story and I was glad Georgiana found her happy ever after.
Would I be reading more from ANNA ELLIOTT: Definitely. I'm going to review the next one in the series pretty soon and shall wait out for new ones from her.
The book is available here: amazon.com
