Title: Really disappointing
Review: I love historical fiction. Anyone who knows me, or doesn't, based on reading my reviews here, will tell you that. On the whole, though, I struggled with Niccolo Rising, primarily because the author lost me when she got into the political events of the time. Frankly, I was bored, so much that I began to skip pages to get to the more interesting parts. The language is dense and difficult to follow. I had to read this book is short fits and starts because the author really packs the information in, sometimes to the detriment of the plot. But when the plot got back to Claes, it was actually quite interesting. It's just too bad that there was so little plot there. It was disappointing, considering all the good things I'd heard about this book.
