Bahahahaha! Oy vey... What a thoroughly ridiculous and yet weirdly entertaining book. Plot holes the size of Gibralta. A Mary Sue of epic proportions who knows everything about everything including how to speak a defunct ancient Italian dialect flawlessly (Hey, what modern seventeen-year old can't? Perfectly reasonable if you ask me). And who can sword fight. And cure dying people with her vast medical knowledge (using 14th-century herbal remedies, of course).It was just a comedy of errors, really; one implausible thing after another, and that's not even including the time travel! And yet, despite all that, I read it right to the end. More fool me, probably, but it was kinda funny and, like I said, bizarrely entertaining in an I'm-laughing-at-you-not-with-you sort of way.Not sure if I'm carrying on despite the awful cliffhanger ploy at the end.
