Da Vinci's Tiger by L.M. Elliott

3.0

This was a pretty decent book. (3.5 stars) I liked the character of Ginevera, and the exploration of culture and poetry of the time. It's clearly exquisitely researched, and that shows through. However, the themes of women's power were a bit frustrating, the romance unnecessary (though the platonic love is interesting on it's own) and I felt that Elliot was really hitting the reader over the head with it. I would have loved a bigger exploration of Ginevra and Luigi's relationship as well. Still, interesting, informative historical fiction, which is worth a read if you're interested in Da Vinci and his work.
