My audiobook rental expires in two days. Don't think I will renew. I listened to another bit today and realized I am not enthusiastic at all about it. I don't like Marcello, and don't feel their insta-attraction and Gabi is just annoying all the time.

The convenient coincidences are starting to get a little annoying. Gabby apparently hated history and learning and school and yet she speaks and reads both ancient Italian and Latin, rides horses both bareback and sidesaddle, can wield a heavy sword (albeit clumsily), rappel down castle walls, and cure asthma.

I'm not feeling the chemistry between Gabby and Marcello - at all. At this point, I like the sick Fortino better. But I'm not even half way through the book and have no idea where the plot is going so we'll see.

Gabby is driving me insane - she keeps doing crazy things that go against the culture and the time and then it always bites her but she doesn't seem to learn. And then she swooned - she literally swooned. My eyes rolled right out of my head. lol
