(4) 4-6 This third installment of the series returns to Talia, a world loosely mirroring sixteenth-century Italy, and introduces Sky, a twenty-first century time traveler or "stravagante" who travels to Talia to end a bloody family feud. The novel's elaborate back story and long list of characters make a sluggish and sometimes confusing start to an otherwise imaginative fantasy tale.
