Da Vinci more like Don’t Vinci
Once again the only female main character has to be younger than our male protagonist and end up being the love interest by the end. She has to be beautiful and clever but not as witty or charming as the MC because this is basically a self-insert of the author’s fantasy of being taken seriously by younger women.
Do we really have to sexualise her right away, Dan? Can you write a single woman without talking about her body the moment we meet her?

I feel like I need to do research after this! The mystery was enticing and unique. I did not realize how complicated history can be especially interwoven with religion.

3.0

honestly super interesting and fun! very quick paced but i feel like that was a negative sometimes. every time i’d be stressed or there would be major stakes i felt like it got solved so quickly …

which i guess is the point since sir leigh was behind it all

… anyways the ending felt wrapped up too nicely tbh like where was the lessons learned? and i didn’t really like

sophie and langdon ending up together like fr? we can’t let a woman just find her family and be jesus’ lost lost descendent wo needing the mc man get some puss??? FR????

Fast read. Mostly makes you want to fly to Europe immediately. Well written. Immersive - great to read by the pool or at the beach and dive into another world.
