The Book Of Daniel by Z.A. Maxfield

4.0

4.5 stars. I was really glad to see this book was about Daniel, Jacob's brother from [b:Jacob's Ladder|7885847|Jacob's Ladder (St. Nacho's #3)|Z.A. Maxfield|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275884033s/7885847.jpg|11100549]. He was such an interesting character, with such conflict and potential. This was another wonderful look at the man, and many of his complexities were laid clear. Again here was a MC with real flaws who none the less is very sympathetic and will capture your heart. Two things made me down-grade this book slightly from its prequel. One is that the romantic MC's are not together as much as I would have liked for much of the book, so I felt a little short-changed of emotional moments between them. But the bigger one is that there is a time-skip near the end of the book that covers what should have been the most intensely emotional time period for Daniel, the POV character, and for all the characters who cared about him. Only seeing it reflected in the aftermath was much less satisfying. So I liked this book a whole lot, but came away with a little regret for the bits that weren't there.
