review 1: I loved this book (as evidenced by the five-star rating). It's the kind of writing that gets under your skin and invades your dreams. Grimwood is masterful in his prose, and his worldbuilding is so intricate that I didn't realize until well into the trilogy that it was alternate history (vampires and werewolves aside). And I'm a European history geek.I want to point out, though, that if I were Grimwood, I would be livid, and if I were any of his editors at Orbit Books, I would be embarrassed, because my edition was riddled with typos.
review 2: The final instalment of the Assassini trilogy pits Tycho against murderous ex-Regent Alonzo to protect his love Giulietta and her young son Leo. In the elaborate chess game that is Venetian politics, enemies become frien... moreds, friends are betrayed and a lot of knives find their way into a lot of backs. Can Tycho end the war once and for all? And will it cost him Giulietta?Visceral and gruesome as its predecessors, Grimwood continues to be unflinching in his portrayal of the horrors of life in his alternate 15th Century Venice. A satisfying conclusion to a gritty trilogy. Highly enjoyable. less
