I am reading the English version that I was a backer for on Kickstarter!

Yes, I've already read one book, and it's only the first day.

It's hard to enjoy this book when you have to look up word meanings on every page. Thank goodness for Kindle. Pompous, pedantic, esoteric, and loquacious. I know a lot of big words too. This is Wonderland! The only words I shouldn't know should be imagined, not from words you don't even see on GRE vocabulary lists.

Characters are not very likable in this book as opposed to first one. Also fairly predictable since it repeats misfortunes from Pillars.

It is taking me a long time to get through this book...mostly because I keep googling historical things mentioned in the book every few pages! Mind blown.

This book is quite long and dense but an enjoyable read thus far. I wish I had read this book before I lived in Florence. The Medici family was so hard to keep straight on who's who and who did what. This book has helped me with some of the lineage and history.

I must say I was disappointed when I entered part 2. Spencer didn't forewarn me. I am going to grudgingly keep reading.

I feel like I may have read this book before. I don't remember the ending so I am just going to finish the book just in case.
