A fascinating premise. I had to stop between chapters to let my head go and look up the referenced historical events.
Enjoyable protagonist - I don't think a reader could avoid rooting for him...and plot twist, well - get ready for a doozy. I love books where you do not know what is going to happen the whole time.
Walton writes very different books, you never know what you're in for, but it's always a treat. So in this book, which for the first half seems like a retelling of historical events, then takes a sharp turn and becomes a fantastic groundhog day story. Also really makes me want to see Florence, as if My Real Children hadn't done that already.
This book is a Venn Diagram of People Who Like Jo Walton's Novels, People Who Like Historical Fantasy Fiction, People Who Like Medieval Theology, and People Who Like Humanism, and I am firmly at the centre.
