While this book was very interesting at times, at others, it dragged, as it contained a few too many subplots upon subplots.
I thought the concept was intriguing, though, and learned quite a bit about a city and time period that I know very little about. Kate and Richard were fairly complex characters, but I also felt that some of the other characters lacked depth.

The "good guys" in this book, with the exception of Marco and maybe Rumore, were way too bloodthirsty. And, sorry, while I do believe that there are causes worth dying for, taking the law into your own hands to redistribute lost or stolen artwork is not one of them. And there were way too many conversations between antagonists about how they were going to kill each other. Really? I think in reality they would have just done it instead of having prolonged conversations about it.
