I really enjoyed this book because it showed me a piece of history that I had never heard. The best aspect of this book is the historical detail. I really enjoyed learning about all of the people in the novel. Plus it was fascinating seeing how things played out historically. L.M. Elliott did a great job combining the political issues, personal issues, and even religious issues of all the characters, especially Ginevra. I also really enjoyed the portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci, although it felt like we didn’t get much from him. I would have liked more. I enjoyed the politics and the feminist views that were quiet and growing in this. I also really enjoyed the slowness of the relationship between Leonardo and Ginevra. If you enjoy historical fictions and you like the time period then I definitely recommend it. It’s enjoyable and a very quick read. I’m glad I picked it up.
