The Butcher's Daughter: A Foundlings Novel by Wendy Corsi Staub
2.0
I was waiting to finish the trilogy before I reviewed them because they are truly a trilogy. The first book leaves much unfinished.
There was A LOT going on. There are about eleventy hundred characters to keep track of and time flip flops so that makes everything even more confusing.
The murders don't really make sense. The Butcher, The Angler, The Butcher's Daughter....they seemed like a separate story (in fact, The Angler really is it's own story, it has no bearing on the story as a whole and nothing that happens with him really carries over to the next book). You're not really given much insight as to what drives the killers except psychopathy and the end of times.
All in all, it was just okay. The fact that nothing really resolves itself until the final book is what kept me reading, otherwise I might have stopped after the first book.
