The fourth book of Lee's Venus (an alternate history of Venice) series, and maybe I'd like this better if I'd read the other three, but I doubt it: the plot is mechanical, the characters are flavorless, and even the prose lacks her usual breathtaking escapades. When I got to the end, I was unsure why she'd written it or why I'd read it.
Wonderful blend of religious mythologies combined for a riveting tale.
