Jo is canon aroace in this one and I am living for it!! Also a QPR!! Hell yes.
So Many Beginnings is a remix of Little Women set in 1863 in the Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island during the Civil War. The March family has finally been able to put down roots and the four March sisters are exploring all the colony has to offer them.
I really loved this remix. It had elements from the original I expected, but the overall storyline does somewhat diverge. I feel like I really got to see these characters shine in a different time period. The historical background Morrow added by setting this in the Freedmen's Colony was amazing. I didn't know this colony existed and this story highlighted it so well.
I loved the sisters so much. Their relationships and their familial bond is the center of this story and I love it so much. I loved seeing them all grow and explore new things/situations. The depiction of chronic illness with Beth was really well done. I just feel so much for Beth.
Overall, I think this is an improvement on the original, which is one of the few classics I enjoyed.
Rep: Black aroace (most likely demiromantic) female MC, chronically ill Black cishet female MC, two Black cishet female MCs, various Black side characters.
CWs: Racism, slavery, chronic illness. Moderate: Mentions of war. Minor: Violence and gun violence.
