The Prodigal Daughter (Kane & Abel #2)
I laughed. I cried. I got apoplectic. This book had EVERYTHING. I even screamed girl power towards the end!! I never thought I would say this for ANY book.. but this book DESERVED six stars....
Definitely not as great as the first book, but a decent read. Some parts of the past seemed redundant. It could have been easily more concise without the repetitions from Kane & Abel and the last 100 pages got pretty boring with too many details. Another major disappointment was Richard not being alive to become the First Gentleman. I enjoyed reading about him than any other character. Although I enjoyed these 2 books, I don't think I'll read the next one.
The first half is a recap of the first book, and the second half is Florentyna getting into politics. Plain boring. It could've been good, but Florentyna had more depth as a side character than a main character. That is saying something. At one point Florentyna almost gets raped, smashes a vase over the man's head, her friend comes in and they start talking about hockey...A star for the female president, even though I don't like the way it happened.
Charting the life of Florentyna Kane, Archer is well within his writing element in crafting a story that is both interest and engaging. A standalone sequel of sorts to Kane and Abel, the feud first presented there here is largely a canvas for Florentynas life to play out on (rather than being the central narrative thrust of the book). Some may prefer a greater clash between characters or wished for the story or writing to be something much sharper and acerbic, but there is a deftness in how
I wasn't sure what to expect with the 2nd book after reading poor reviews. I had read criticism that much of the story was repeated from the first book. There were pages that retold the same story but then we were treated to the remaining years being told from Florentyna's perspective. I loved it, can't wait to read the third and final book in the series.
