I enjoyed it, but couldn't get into it like I did in the other books of the 1632 series. Also . .. a little disappointed that Galileo didn't have any lines.

Some books hang the entire plot on two characters not talking to each other.
This is one of them.
Now, you can come up with all kinds of excuses. Lovesick 19 year olds don’t tend to take their grand plans to their parents. And that’s fine. But this is a very tired, strained plot and I’m unimpressed.
Writing is fine, the mix of downtimers and uptimers is good, but man, that plot.

This is my re-reading of this book. It starts slow, especially I think considering I avoid all the Virginia DeMarce books because they're horrible so I don't catch all the references in the beginning. Regardless, when the story picks up I find it really interesting. I'm glad to see Sharon given a chance for development beyond Hans Richter's fiancee, and the story is interesting. The fact that I love Italy may help, but regardless it's a good read.
