[Matt · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't complete the entire book, rather I skimmed through the more boring parts. After reading Voices from the Dust and a few others that are much better, this one was a hard read. It is a translation of Spanish writing from the 15th century so it is laborious to read. Many sentences run on for half a page or more. I just didn't have the energy to plow into it despite being fascinated by the topic.
