Well this one thoroughly disappointing as a second of the duet. Yes we got plenty of Fausto and Francesca once the beginning was out of the way, but it was still slow as hell and despite the action it just didn't hit right for me. Like yes Fausto is full of regret and is soft and patient but Francesca has every right to be absolutely pissed at him for what he did and therefore what happened to her, because it wouldn't have happened if she'd been with him.
After

the wedding and the shooting

everything went quiet again and super special Francesca helped! It felt so cliche how she helped, but i did like her stepping upto the legitimate businesses to help, that showed growth for her. It's just a shame her education is never mentioned until the epilogue... It would make sense if when they'd discussed her working with the legitimate businesses that one of them mentioned this but nope... But the book was slow until about 70% and then it felt super rushed and everything to resolve the plot happened within the last 20% before the epilogue. Which then opened it up more for Giulio's future story. I won't be continuing I don't think.
