Jacopo Della Quercia

long and boring and stupid.

An interesting book with a sophisticated plot. There were parts of the book I loved (the ciphers, ravens, and historical parallels), and other parts that left me a bit confused.

I'm actually not sure how this book ended up in my collection--it may have been a gift--but I'm so incredibly glad that it did. I can't remember when I've last read a book that was so much fun.

Quercia's blend of history, adventure, and steampunk fantasy is brilliant, and once I began reading the book, I couldn't stop. If I were more of a history buff, I'm positive that I would have enjoyed this even more, but as it is, I just adored it. I'd recommend it to anyone.
