It's like if [b:Assassin's Creed: Renaissance|7205214|Assassin's Creed Renaissance (Assassin's Creed, #1)|Oliver Bowden|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1394133397s/7205214.jpg|7921323] & [b:Romeo and Juliet|18135|Romeo and Juliet|William Shakespeare|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327872146s/18135.jpg|3349450] had a baby.
It felt like Renaissance steampunk, if that's even a thing.
Honestly, I liked this book but could only give it a 2 star rating. Maybe, 2.5? I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. I enjoyed some aspects of the book, but overall it was just okay.
The whole story was confusing, especially the true identities of most of the characters. I kept thinking that the prodigious details would eventually weave into an elaborate and satisfying tale, but sadly that never happened. The ending was lackluster and frankly, a huge bummer.
I could see where the author wanted to go, and the concept seemed interesting to me (at first). It was overtly vague and choppy which only accomplished to keep me in a state of puzzlement from start to finish.
*I received this copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review, and opinions are mine alone.
